Tips on mid 90's Athena rear hub service?
The rear hub in my 95 Marinoni is gritty. Here's a video of somebody servicing it:
Any further tips from anyone? |
More specifically:
How the heck do you hold the pawls in place when you reassemble? |

Thanks for that! I'll give it a try.

Got It.
I put a small cable tie around the hub body, and that allowed me to push the pawl and springs into place and leave them there. Then, when I was ready to reassemble, I slid the cable tie up the body, wrapped a string below it, and slipped the cable tie off. I pulled the string out once the pawls were contained in the shell. Phew! I wouldn't have had a clue it Spaghetti hadn't chimed in. Thanks again. |

Well, I spent the entire morning procrastinating, because I imagined myself crawling and swearing across the basement floor like an aging Gollum, sifting through the sawdust with my fingers looking for one of those pawls.
Don't ask me why I could picture it so vividly! |
I just overhauled one of these for the first time, before starting it sounded like a cement mixer. It was missing a pawl spring, I replaced it it using a spring from push button ball point pen, it worked perfectly!

Leave it to Campy to make things overly complicated with those paws and springs.
I'm sure there could have been a way to cast the body (like a hole in the body and a short pivot shat on one side of the pawls) and pawl so the pawl and spring can be retained in place while inserting the assembly into the hub...... |
