I've been cleaning and prepping the wheels and hubs in the meantime. No photos of that though - but I did snap a photo of the chain for another thread. Cleaned up quite well with a dunk in mineral spirits. Not bad for 68 years old.





I also went ahead and pulled the AW. Whatever someone poured in this thing to lubricate it with turned into a sticky, oily film that feels like sticking your fingers in tacky paint. The pawls were barely engaging, and when I tried to move the clutch retainer off, the entire clutch AND the rest of the hub (stuck to the clutch) came with it. I dribbled a bit of mineral spirits on it and everything broke apart pretty easily. I'm going to let it soak overnight.

On the plus side, this thing looks brand new.
