Service help needed for my Spaceliner I'm at my whits end!!

[Rusty Klunker]

So glad you figured it out! I was going to suggest you de- lace the hub and send it to me. I would have got it working and sent it back on my dime. But, you would have still felt defeated. You now have the satisfaction that you were able to conquer it on your own! Happy for you!
Big smile!!

I was thinking the same thing. Shipping a wheel back and forth isn't cheap. He had already done the hard part... he cleaned it. LOL

Figured it was the clutch retarders. Happy for you man!! Enjoy!!

Hey J, just going through this and looking at your pictures I see flat spots ground into the AB-23. Is this something you did or did you get it this way? What is the purpose?

Wow. I didn't notice before. This is untested hub I serviced. Once I mount it and ride, will see what happens!
It seemed ok on stand hand pedaling...

They are the teeth that bite into the hub shell engaging 2nd gear. Not sure what they were thinking? Those early splined versions came on red bands and the early yellow and blue bands. In 66-67 bendix changed it to what looks like a screw. Same part number and they interchange.

Yeah me too. Expected and hoping you could solve it because, giving up your first child to Rumpelstiltskin only works out in fairy tales.

I also must say, if you were competent enough to disassemble and reassemble to that point. You would definitely be able to figure it out.

But the critical issue here is I completed the incorrect step a dozen times convinced I was right when I wasn't.

Sometimes when you want something bad enough and you put in the time and keep failing you are motivated to overpay to make things right
