Rebuild Sachs 3x7 hub?

I've got an old Sachs 3x7 hub with the chain shifter. I'm running it through Bob nutz. My Velocity rims split all over the place and I need to respoke onto a new rim. I want to rebuild the hub before rebuilding a wheel but can't find a parts breakdown for that style hub. Anyone know where I can find exploded view of older style hub. I don't want to take it apart without knowing what I'm getting into first. I also need source for replacement parts, needs new adjustment chain.

Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Bike Friday used a lot of these hubs and may be able to provide the service instructions and repair parts. SRAM bought Sachs a few years ago and may still support the products. Try contacting either of these for info.

I recently contacted Sram regarding parts I need to rebuild a Sachs 7 speed hub. Their response was they do not import internal geared hub parts to North America. Unless you can track down someone who imports them from Germany, or you care to do it yourself, you may be S.O.L.

Bike Friday has some manuals and articles on the 3x7 on their website.
