I would like to add my voice to Mike's request for help / advice.
I need to perform exactly the same service to my '41 B ( # 114144 ).
any answer y'all can give to Mike will pay dividends for yours truly, as
well.

Thanks, Bob

Subject: [AJD] (AJD] Early Styled B Front Wheel Bearing

I was doing some general service maintenance on my '41 B sn
109494 and decided that I'd inspect and repack the front wheel
bearing on the straight tricycle front end.  After removing the
spindle nut and washer I got hold of the outer bearing cone
expecting to pull the cone/bearing/cage assembly out.  Only the
cone came out, leaving the roller bearings and the bearing cage in
the hub.  After getting the bearing and cage out I cleaned
everything up, expecting to find the bearings and cage badly worn.
However, neither shows obvious abnormal wear.  Were the early
bearings intended to be this way as opposed to a single unit like
modern wheel bearings?  If yes. is there a technique to getting
everything to stay together for reassembly?
