Litteral break down. Friend had his rupture and so I gave him my freewheel for the time being, now I get to open them up. Mind that sickbikeparts sells a freewheel remover tool for use with the products they sell, don't buy it though because it isn't the right size, I had to hammer the knobs in towards the middle to make it catch the spline cuts on the freewheel.
1: is that freewheel body, these are probably custom made by white industries, who is the company who supplies them the whole freewheel.
2: This is the inner race of the 6808 bearing used to mate the inside and outside freewheel parts together. One if the seals hopped into the bearing and blew it up into tiny bits, maybe 1 or 2 surviving ball bearings left.
3: inner assembly and blue lockring. This part holes the paws and the spring to catch the inner surface of that outer freewheel.
4: a rubber o-ring, retains the paws and has a sealing property.
5 the remaining shield, it's got the manufacturer, Enduro, printed with the bearing type.
6: 2 of the 3 paws and a small leaf spring. The paws themselves look like they are in working condition, it was just the bearing that imploded.
They actually machined the freewheel assembly to accept the rubber shield from one side of the bearing, that protect the paws from getting material in them. On this one something got between the crank and the freewheel and busted the seal.
The bike shop gave a base price of 15 bucks on the phone, which is 5 bucks cheaper than anything online. I will get one from them, and press it into place, then go about my other projects once it works. Better than the 70 or 80 charged for a new whole freewheel.
