Really enjoying your work on your bikes. I have family still in NL and over the years have serviced my Father-in-law's Raleigh Wembley, a Nexus hub. I've used ATF to spin out debris. Let the ATF sit, the debris settles and ATF can be used again for cleaning. Would you consider describing your work in Dutch, perhaps with English summary (or vice versa)? It would be great to hear a bit of Dutch again.
I used ATF (automatic transmission fluid) in a Shimano 3-speed and it works well (I'll probably get people telling me how wrong that is, but it's my bike). Heating the spoke nipples until they smoke is definitely the best way to loosen them, but I've still managed to snap a few - the joys of a damp salty climate.
I'm currently working on a newer model S.A, and I just found out it didn't use any spring on the palls inside the ring gear. Strange enough the hub was functioning somehow?? Ive reassembled the hub using 'some little springs from an older S.A. model, I believe they are the same. The palls now sound a lot better, and at some point I will put the wheel back on my nineties Gazelle roadster :)

That's quite an adventure just for one wheel :-)
But you make real good videos and editing work.
As usual my videos can get rather long, and that makes quality control a lot of work :)

Excellent video!
Thank you, glad someone liked it :)

I see no problem in using ATF. I just used what I had :)
So far I've been rather lucky breaking free spokes.
I have a 3 speed brKe hub that is in a really bad shape could you help me with it?
Dried up grease and rust inside the gears
That sounds like a challenge, good luck and make a video about it :)
The springs are dead and i don't have spares

So it works without the springs? Thats worth a try
Sturmey Archer Internal Grease is actually better than this method, comes in a 100ml pot and is the consistency of grease oil.
