This morning I went into uncharted waters and disassemble my New Departure Model D for an inspection and overhaul. I am glad to have found instructional information on the web.

Wow... a lot of disc. All look serviceable. I'm glad I bought this tool a long time ago at a yard sale for a quarter.

Even with with a spanner , I can't seem to get the sprocket set nut separated from the driver. I'll leave it for now.

All parts soaking in there respective containers.

Well with that done. Time to ride.

The dust cover on that outer bearing is a left handed thread. So it’s the opposite direction to loosen it. I’ll usually use a screwdriver and a hammer to brake em loose and then your good to go! Hope this helps you “get er done!”! Lmao!

Working on the Quadrant Chainless bicycle again.
Finally got the drive train parts removed from the frameset.....

The bottom bracket is designed to remain in situ with the gearwheel removed......

...just need to remove the B/B tomorrow, then the frame will be ready to shotblast/wire brush to prep for a framebuilder to replace that rotted through frame tube!
