Rebuilding a hub using grease and gearbox oil for lubrication

A while back I took apart a Sturmey Archer 3 speed with a drum brake. After cleaning all of the parts it's time to reassemble the cartridge. And Instead of using regular lithium grease like I did previous, this time I'm going to use grease for the bearings and car gearbox oil for the rest of the parts. This will prevent rust and hopefully keep the palls moving.

I do run into some difficulties trying to get the correct cone for the drum brake side of the hub. And as a little bonus content, I use my propane torch to free up the spoke nipples so I can tension the spokes a bit, and do some wheel truing.
