Yup, that's it. I've been lucky to have spent time in shops and on roads/trails with a few folks of exceptional mechanical skills and knowledge. No doubt SquidP and others on this forum have those levels of expertise. I'm just a hack with a wrench but with cruisers the parts are cheap, the risks low, and the rewards high. 😄

Sindy - Eventually I plan to try 3-piece cranks on one of my cruisers. Which type of rim and spokes were used on the rear wheel you replaced? Thanks for noting how smooth the replacement hub turned out to be.
