Before and After: A Shimano Recovery

This Shimano wide range 6 speed was moderately dirty on the outside, but in need of a cleaning and new  grease on the inside.  The spin was stiff and the clicks were less than enthusiastic.

Apart she came, cogs, spacers, bearing retainer, balls, and pawls.  Into the spa she went, for cleaning and rejuvenation.  When she emerged, she was ready for her makeover!

Synthetic grease for the ball bearings, high quality machine oil for the pawls.  In no time whatsoever, this old Shimano, was purring like a kitten with a lifetime ahead, and no one to stop it!
