Hello everybody, I have a 70's folding bike with a Sachs coaster brake that stopped working, and instead will just lock or hop almost as your trying to brake. I was going to just try and take it apart but there aren't any hex nuts or grooves for a wrench on either side. There are two indentations on the brake arm side of the hub where I presume you could use a spanner but man, that might suck trying to use one.
Once I do figure out how to dismantle it, would just regreasing the hub be enough? Or does it sound like there could be permanent damage? Any ideas or insight are appreciated.
Thanks

Which model of hub do you have? I imagine it is probably the Torpedo (says so on the fulcrum arm). Try here http://torpedo-coasterbrake.com/ or you can provide the model and ALL the writing on the hub and fulcrum arm and update your question..
the only way that i'm able to think of of at this 2d is the placed a turn on the coaster brake arm so that's activated while the brake is utilized. The arm will could desire to go adequate to turn on the swap and a spring to return it to the off place while the brakes are released. some mm could do the trick.
