Still slowly working on this.

did I order the wrong freewheel? Didn’t know how that worked. Just got a Shimano 6 speed With the same tooth count as mine, but this one has different spacing between the smallest and second smallest gears, which I’m pretty sure will throw off my indexing. I bought the mf-tz500-6. [Edit: actually, I bought MF-TZ20 and they sent me the TZ500-6. Not sure the difference, but I may send it back just because it isn't what I ordered].

besides that. Going well 2 pedals and a wheel done. Working on reassembling the rear wheel (hence the freewheel question). Everything is smooth sailing so far. Have to figure out which crank and bottom bracket tools I need next.

New freewheel

Front wheel hub

Both pedals

Rear wheel hub stripped. Looks like 9 ball bearings and this one is 1/4” balls. Every bearing is different on this thing haha.

The rear hub shaft and cones/washers/nuts cleaned and partially assembled.
