I've done a few ergo overhauls now. I prepped for the first one by watching a few of the You Tube videos that cover this subject. If you choose to take this on I'd recommend you proceed slowly and lay out the parts in the sequence you remove them. Be careful to not miss anything....some of the thin spacers (washers?) are easy to overlook when they are "stuck" to adjacent parts with grease. I documented several details, particularly the springs, with pictures so I had a reference for the reassembly. Installing the springs is the most challenging task, but relatively easy after you've done it once.
I overhauled an 8-Speed Ergo yesterday afternoon in preparation for moving it to another bike. I gave all the bits a thorough cleaning and fresh grease. I installed new g-springs while I had it apart.
