I've somehow managed to collect numerous freewheels ranging from single speed to 8 speed and most of them need a service. Some of the oldest, the 3 and 4 speed, have stuck pawls or dry bearings. In this video I show you how to strip down a freewheel and service it. Tools needed: Freewheel removal tool Hammer and punch Telescopic magnet & magnet tray (useful but not essential) Tweezers Tray to catch and dropped ball bearings A light grease / oil for reassembly (normal bearing grease is too thick) Degreaser / thinners for cleaning Top tip: Have an elastic band on hand when assembling the freewheel. If the freewheel is stubborn - soak in WD40 for a week
