I finished overhauling an AW hub last night. It really didn't need an overhaul, but it's a spare and I wanted to try it.

With the aid of Sheldon, MnHPVA guy's SA tips, and an old copy of Glenn's, I was able to break down, clean, and reassemble the last couple of evenings. It was fun, but I wish I had taken some digital pictures while I took it apart for reference--it would have made reassembly easier. I think I got it right--I guess the only way to tell would be to put the wheel on my bike and ride it.

I was impressed with how well-designed and engineered the hub was. There's a reason there are so many old ones floating around.
