I see most posts are related current bicycle technology, but maybe there're some old hands here too.
I've given up the idea of building a ship in a bottle - the 3 speed hub is just as challenging!

I think I've figured something out. I'm still trying to get the main mechanism out, but so far it
won't co-operate. Further study of the exploded diagram seems to show (it's a bit grainy) that the
"ball cup" (item 9, part no. 321 5600) is threaded into the hub proper. I've tried unscrewing it
(both ways), and heating it (to destroy any Loctite type stuff). No go so far, and it's not helped
by not having any thing to positively grab onto with a spanner. I'm using a Stilson/Monkey wrench.
These things were made to be able to be dismantled, weren't they?
