liam-pantera Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 HI guys tonite i was out riding on my stock and my tensile started making a horrid noise i ignored it as i was going down a hill of a a sudden the freewheel seized up and my chain started pieling up around my freewheel. It seemd that one of the paws was stoping it from turning but i fixed it so this is how you do it .* First remover the crank from the bb.* Clamp the crank arm in a vice tight so it cant move and hammer the lockring off with a dot punch and hammer* Carefuly remove the top bearing cage and place it on one side .* remove both brass spacers to expose the pawls and springs.* remove the sprocket part and inspect it for any wear marks etc, then clean it will a dry rag to remove all oil.* press every paw and see if it will move back into the main body with ease, if one does not then you will have to bend the spring inwards.* to bend the spring inwards put a spoke behind the spring and press the front with a screwdriver and it will cause the tip to bend slightly in fixing the problem * to re-asemblem put the sprocket part back on ( a tip is to use a small screwdriver to press the paws in ) followed by the 2 brass washers.* then put the bearing race in with the race face up then screw the lockring back on and tighten.* for improved preformance clean each individual part and re asemble dry then squirt a lube substance throught the holes near the lockring when re assembled .that should fix it .... if in doubt ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
