Pulled one of my FW Hubs apart today (thanks to mudski on how they come apart)
A bit grotty inside where the spring is.

A bit cleaner now.

One question, is it worth while getting the circlip out that can be seen in the second last photo to totally dismantle the hub?

Missing in Action
New spark for the old girl today. Bought from a small town garage for $30 less than that super "cheap" place sells them for. Pays to #buyfromthebush.
Sent from my campfire using smoke signals.

I did. Its quite easy. There is a square oring that goes around the plastic part that you turn to lock the hubs, so try to avoid using and petrol or the likes to clean the hub up as you will destroy the oring.
Yours looks pretty clean. I just regreased in there to help stop water ingress...

Looks like reasonably decent clips too. Most of the ones available these days are almost paper thin.

Saw that Repco had 50% off on all maxitrack a few days ago and I needed a new UHF cable. Instead I brought this for $35.

Fitted the above aerial.
While pulling out the old cable the radio went out, that gave me another job to do. Out with the radio to find the disconnected wire. Wasn't to bad, now setting it all back to how it was is going to take even longer.

Some radios stop when you disconnect the areal cable, I reckon it's an earthing thing.
