Dumb rookie coaster brake mistake.

[guzziworksman]

I've disassembled and cleaned the rear hub on my '65 Spaceliner. I didn't take pics as I dove into a take-it-apart frenzy. I knew better. I always take pics, label/bag stuff, take notes. But not this time. Really dumb. Now I have a whole bunch of pieces with no real idea of how to put it back together. It's a Bendix that's marked RB2. Is there a parts diagram available? Haven't been able to find it specifically, on the internet. Shame on me. I feel really dumb.

EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks. I'll check the files here more carefully, in the future -and take things apart more intelligently, besides.

I took one apart when I was 10 and never did get it back together and got in big trouble. didn't touch another one until I was almost 60.

Amazingly, I got it all back together - the exploded view did the trick. Then I discovered...because I'm re-lacing the rim...I had to take it all apart again to access the spoke holes on the hub's flanges. So I'm getting plenty of practice. And yeah - RJ The Bike Guy had a useful youtube on it.

Did you just remove the rear cog to access the spoke holes?

 

[guzziworksman]

Nope - pulled the hub's contents .
