Refreshing an axle for my 40 project. Tore down the axle i had purchased and had some findings in the hubs that I could use some help with.
First off, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were longfield birfs in it. I also think that the hub and clutch would be upgraded as well, as seen below
Unfortunately one of the small springs that goes on the pawl is stretched out.
As well as part of the inside of the free wheeling hub body being broken free. Also looks grooved, suggesting extreme wear from possible lack of lubrication.
After searching and coming up with not much more than this diagram, it seems like individual parts are not sold
So just want to get some feedback on next steps. It seems like besides gambling on some used ones and using the parts from both used sets to make one working set, I am better off buying some standard oem hubs new and swapping in the inner hub and clutch. Is that correct? Then I'll have plenty of spare parts down the road if I ever need them.
Thanks for any comments and feedback!
