You're very lucky.

There's an easier way however. I suspected that you had an old style Maillard freewheel.

The 2 smallest cogs on old Maillard freewheels like your's are screwed on to the body. the other 3 cogs are mounted on splines and slide right off.

You can remove the screwed on cogs with 2 chain whips. With all of the cogs removed it's easy to relace the hub with no risk of damage.

For all of us Gitane fans out here, that will probably never see the internal workings of one of these tandem rear brake drum/hub assembly Sad ----any possibility that you could post some images of how the internal brake shoes fit in this Hub when you get your wheelsets back???? Very Happy


I am promised that this weekend I would have my wheels back.
So when I do I will for sure post some pics of the drum brake.
Having the wheels rebuild really took a long time...
