I'm a hoarder. I've somehow managed to collect numerous freewheels ranging from single speed to 8 speed and most of them need a service. Some of the oldest, the 3 and 4 speed, have stuck pawls or dry bearings. In this video I show you how to strip down a freewheel and service it.

Tools needed:
Freewheel removal tool
Hammer and punch
Telescopic magnet & magnet tray (useful but not essential)
Tweezers
Tray to catch and dropped ball bearings
A light grease / oil for reassembly (normal bearing grease is too thick)
Degreaser / thinners for cleaning

Top tip:
Have an elastic band on hand when assembling the freewheel.
If the freewheel is stubborn - soak in WD40 for a week
