Sturmey-Archer help
Okay, all of you crusty vintage mechanics; I'm midway through the dis-assembly of an AW hub. Sheldon's instructions read:
2. Unscrew the right-hand ball ring and internal assembly
Next, use a hammer and punch to unscrew the right-hand ball ring
My question is: where do I place a punch in order to unscrew this thing? Any help appreciated.

A screw driver may slip, try a drift punch or IIRC Sheldon Brown uses an old bottom bracket shaft with a notch ground in it. Once you have done it a couple of times it becomes second nature. As a general rule though the hubs need very little service. I have one that hasn't been torn down in over 10,000 miles to the best of my knowledge (may be more than that). As long as you keep a bit of oil in them and ride them regularly they will apparently run indefinitely
