Try the manual - have to say I'm not over enthusiastic with that download - copperslip is not a lubricant, its a carrier for a copper coating to prevent siezing - use proper grease.

Anyway the picture you are after is

im doing mine today because they are not working, just going to put them in the cleaning cabinet, then fill with oil (read that in a previous post?) and see how they go then, if no good will have to fit manuals when i can afford them.

The oil thing is to free up old grease - suggest you grease them - oil will run out ultimately.

Snap rings are circlips.

Have a look at the diagram I posted.

"Brake A" should not be able to fit inside "Brake B", if they can they are worn out, it is the friction of these parts against each other that engages and dissengages the hubs. You may find if you mix the Brake rings from both sides that you can produce 2 pairs that aren't too badly worn so that you can get the hubs to work properly. Make sure that the lugs are complete on the brake rings it appears to be those that break off when they are abused.
