Progress report: The SA is back together, freshly oiled with new bearings. I think I reassembled it properly. I'll have to see if it tears itself to bits when I finally get the bike back together:



It's almost ready for reassembly. I need to wax the frame and fork, polish the wheels and other crome, and clean the pedals.



A couple questions:

1. How can I lubricate the pedals? It doesn't appear that they are built for servicing? I assume there are bearings in there, but how do I get to them? I've tried prying what looks like the inside ball race, but to no avail. Do I have to try harder? Or should I just spray a teflon or like lube in the the joints? BTW, they are not frozen, but they do sound gravely when they spin.



2. What is the proper adjustment for the front wheel hub? If I tighten it just enough to eliminate any play, I can feel a sort of pulsating resistance from the bearings. If I loosen it just a fraction, it rotates more smoothly (although still a faint detection of that pulsation), but there is play in the hub. I spent well over an hour trying to find the sweet spot, but that's the best I could do. Hints? Suggestions?
