Like the instructions always say; "assembly is in reverse order."

You've got the tires mounted. That's a start.

I don't understand. Do you have a question?

If you haven't done a hub overhaul now is the time considering how far you've disassembled everything else.

I think this thread was just a sight (site?) gag. The OP was just being humorous.

As the former owner of English cars, and suffering through the attempt at deciphering their manuals, that is not funny to me. Still have flashbacks.

fastjake...

No question. I was just proud as punch and wanted to show off. However, you raise a good point. If there any suggestions on what I should do now, while the bike is apart, please let me know.

To that point...What's invovled with a hub overhaul?

Hub overhaul? Not too difficult. You should be able to handle it considering how much you've done already. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tooltips/hubs.html

It would also be a convenient time to re-grease the headset: https://sheldonbrown.com/headsets.html

Having owned Japanese cameras and a Japanese car in the '60's and early 70's I certainly am familiar with indecipherable manuals.

You don't have to go back that far. I have problems with any "electronics" manuals to this day. Take for instance the programming instructions that came with the bike computor. I have to call the kids or the grandkids. But give them a service manual for something that needs wrenching?- totally lost!
