New Life for Old Bikes Servicing a Shimano three speed

- The three speed hub on my 1975 Takara was sounding a bit crunchy. Since It has no service port to add oil, I disassemble it to clean and oil it. I put plenty of oil on all moving parts and put fresh grease on the bearings.

Very good and informative video.
Thank you. I was excited to find something I had never worked on before. I like the challenge.
Evan, Thanks for the video. Does that hub have a model name or number stamped into it? I recently rebuilt a vintage 3 speed shimano hub that had 333 stamped on the hub. It also had a very difficult to remove ball cup. It was said to require a special removal tool. I found notches on the rim of the ball cup and I used a small punch and hammer to turn it off. I would like to know what is stamped on your hub for future reference. I restore or refurbish vintage 3 speed bikes just for the enjoyment I get from it. Thanks, Larry.
Larry, I looked all over the hub, but the only numbers I found on it were 3S. It's off my 1975 Takara which is made by kowuhara if that helps.
At moment 9:30 in the video, you are putting two pins into a slot in the axel. It was not obvious to me what the pins did. Did they just keep the gear mech in a specific spot on the axel?
Yes. They simply limit the movement.
