Well, the C clamp method wasn’t successful. Those pins are really seized. I don’t want to damage the shaft, bearings, or cranks, so resisted the uncontrollable urge to reach for a big hammer. I noticed on the crank tube that there is what appears to a ball type grease port. I am wondering...

Thank you @dnc1 and @juvela I really appreciate the help. I love the visuals. I have a C-Clamp that I can try. At one time I would have got the hammer out first and then tried to recover later. I must be getting a little smarter with age. I’ll post a few photos of the finished product...

Thanks for the replies. Maybe I should start a new thread for a question I have, but I’m going to throw it out anyway. I am trying to remove the cranks and the pin is either seized or threaded in. Does anyone have a disassembly procedure? I hope the photos I have included are useful. Thanks

Hello all, If anyone is able to help me determine the model name and year of my Rudge Whitworth step through frame bicycle I would greatly appreciate it. The bicycle was purchased used for my mother in 1956 for $25 by my grandparents. I’d also be interested to know where it was manufactured...

Thanks for the disassembly and assembly information. It was very helpful. Having said that I have a bit of an issue that I’m hoping you can assist with. The hub was missing a lock nut from the drive side (see photos). The axle appears to be M10 (a little larger than 3/8”) and I thought it was...

I’m curious to know what grease you used when rebuilding the new departure model d hub/brake. I have one to do, but would like to use the right grease. Did the squeak go away? Thanks for the help

I am hoping that someone may be able to help me determine the model year on my Wards Hawthorne bike with the serial number. It is D96872. There is also what looks 11 stamped near the serial number. See the attached photos of the numbers and the bike.

Thanks for the help. I’ll post the results of my efforts on this thread.

Thank you for the assistance. Much appreciated

This is my first post on CABE, and I am hopeful that someone that is part of the network can help me identify the manufacturer & model of coaster brake on a Wards Hawthorne bicycle I have disassembled with the intention of making it rideable again. I am also hoping to get some maintenance...
