Dirty interior. Don't forget that Poly soaked this in soapy water and flushed it with WD40. This is what was left afterwards upon first opening.
Interior after cleaning in the Spa.
Grease, bearings, pawls, and spacers added. Note the Blue Loctite on the threads of the outer bearing race/retaining ring. Ready for assembly.
Almost done.
Body ready for clean sprockets and spacers.
Ready to ship back to the OP. Note this is an Ultra Spaced Perfect.
Nice work, Bob! A really clean freewheel is a beautiful thing.
I love Ultra spaced Perfects. Cheap, easy to find, easy to work on, and you can customize them to accommodate pretty much any wacky gearing scheme you can dream up. I'm pretty sure those are the only freewheels I have on any of my bikes (though maybe half of them are regular five-speeds).
