Help with 600 hub overhaul...

😕 I just overhauled a pair of Shimano 600 hubs, vintage mid
1980's. Does anyone have a techinal exploded view of all the hub
components? They spin ok but tend to not to be silky-smooth. New
bearings?

Thanks,

Scroll down. I don't think that the basic design has changed from the
'80s; still cup and cone, etc.

Degrease everything. Check the cone and cup surfaces for pits. New
bearings are worth a shot.

🙂 Thanks.
