@gthomson, please note if your UO-14 is the same as that in post #32 catalog page it uses the much maligned (by some, not me) Malliar Helicomatic hubs. These are NOT a screw on freewheel, but rather a proprietary helically splined freewheel mount that requires a proprietary tool to remove the outer lock ring that holds the freewheel on to the hub. That being said, this lock ring can be easily removed with channel lock pliers gingerly applied to the ring and rotated CCW. Caution, not much force is required and don't crush the alloy lock ring. I removed one from my 1985 PH10LS and little more that finger pressure was required to unscrew from a hub so dried and caked with grease residue I'm sure was never maintained! Good luck.
