1988 Kuwahara Lion

I had some time last night to get to grips with the Lion.
Unfortunately, my new puller was of surprisingly poor quality and so I couldn't remove the sprocket.

So the dork disc will stay on for a while longer. Somehow it belongs there and it doesn't look to bad.

I then centred the wheels, cleaned and greased the bearings and refitted the fork.

I hope I can finish putting everything together tomorrow and then finally ride it.
 
Looking awesome!!🦁

I had the same issue with a new freewheel tool recently, in the end I bought an old one of eBay - its seems like the newer ones are built from lighter/cheaper/weaker alloy.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look.
