...but as you might imagine, the "flush and dribble" method for servicing freewheels is not one I recommend--- except for in emergencies.

This is especially true with the Sachs Aris, Suntour Winner Pro, and Shimano Dura Ace, Sante, and 600 models, which all have seals which effectively keep most (if not all) of the "flush and dribble" solutions from reaching the internal parts of the body.

Finally, it is also a great way to "dribble" oil back onto your derailleurs, chain, sprockets, chain ring, etc., making them a perfect adhesive for catching more dirt, sand, etc., thus prematurely wearing out components.

Just my two cents, but I realize many good C&V folk disagree with my opinion on this topic.
