Good people on this site I am after some advice please. I have just obtained a JW Heritage for a snip via Gumtree. However I want to give it a little tlc and give it a clean and lube. Not having had one apart before can someone let me know how I remove the spool and give it a touch of oil.
Thx in advance
Tony

Re: Young’s JW Heritage
Hi Tony, first the JW Heritage isn't a true pin but has ball bearings that are caspuled. Lubrication shouldn't be necessary therefore. To release the drum there is two features in the front spokes. One is a drum drag (the one with the little circle screw. Opposite side is a lever which operates a fork mechanism. Pull it back towards the drum rim and lift the drum off at the same time. There you have it...

...... thx for getting back to me. So in that case other than a dust off there is nothing to maintain?

Forgive my ignorance but don't you still put a little machine oil on the spindle?

Re: Young’s JW Heritage
You could do that of course - at least the grub screw needs some). Mainly it would help to slide the drum on easier. That said...if the bearing becomes faulty it would become a true pin more or less and any droplet of oil would help prevent wear and tear.
To sum things up: mechanical engineering without oil won't go far would it?
