niconj Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) I just disasambled my Echo TR freewheel as I broke a pawl. I counted the balls and there are only 47 on one side while there are 48 on the other. Could this be a problem?

FamilyBiker Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) every of the remaining balls will take a 47th more load. imo it could lead to the freewheel having tight points or wiggle movements (eiern,for the germans ).minimal,but there. measure one up with a caliper,if its a common size like 3/16"(doubt that,was an example) a bike shop could have it in stock Edited July 23, 2014 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Original question. Ok. Cool. Just wondering... is it called ball or what's the right term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Ball bearing Thanks! Just one more question. How tight should the plate be? I've taken the freewheel off the crank two times and every time I could unscrew the thing with my hands. Oh and also... how do I fit the ball bearings on the right side w/o them flying around when assembling the inner ring with the pawls. I found a video but I don't know about the thread though.
