Took one apart to remove it from the hub owing to the slots x2 been damaged.
Sprockets x5 came of in one cluster. Caught all the bearings.
My question is are cams where the bearings sit and screw onto the hub
Interchangeable. 5 speed is what I have made by Everest Italy gold finish
Or are they all different depending on the manufacturer .
British thread .

Back in my day which is the 70’s the internals of each freewheel were unique to each manufacturer.

If the slots for the remover were damaged we would take it apart and use a vice to remove the body from the hub. Then throw away what was left unless the sprockets themselves were of use on an identical freewheel.
