Cleaning a newly removed 5 speed freewheel from a restoration, per normal. Saturating the tines, moving dirt, an odd layer on top. Turns out it's a dust cover sponge of some sort - a blockade for particulate from the inside of the hub.
As I picked it out, I kinda winced. Is it necessary? Maybe just a precaution? Should I replace it (and with what)?
