Went back and looked at the chainring, I love little details like that.

AW hub
I printed out several internet pages on disassembling the Sturmey Archer AW 3-speed hub and I've gotten started. Removed the sprocket, spacers, and outer dust cap from the RHS. Removed the lock nut and cone from the LHS. Next step is to unscrew, with a hammer and punch, the ball ring that is screwed very tightly into the hub body and has been there for 53 years. The first attempt was unsuccessful, so liquid wrench is now working it's magic, I hope.
edit: It worked the next try. The hub is apart. ***applause*** Low gears pawls are out. Pawl springs are incredibly thin and delicate. Pawl pins are robust. I'm taking pictures as I go, so I try to post some soon. But now my dinner is ready.Last edited by DebW; 03-18-2007 at 03:36 PM.
