Great write up. Thanks
I've just stripped, cleaned & checked a pair of Selectro freewheel hubs.
The worst part was cleaning off HMP grease and dirt, the two main parts were then cleaned and painted. Next replacement O-rings were sourced from a local O-ring supplier, now for assembly.
Parts cleaned & painted.

I had to Loctite the bushes in these parts. The bushes were loose allowing movement and the aluminium housing was worn (groove behind the bush). Should be OK now the bush is held in place.

Grease the inside of the cap, grease the spring and put the small diameter end in first.

Next insert this part.

This is the cam that engages or disengages drive.

Grease & insert the cam.

Now the tricky bit.....push the parts down into the cap against the spring (after lining up the screw holes in the cam). Three screws have to be inserted into the holes to hold the cam in place, might take a couple of attempts.

Now assemble these parts.

Press into the hub and fit the circlip.

Be careful with the circlip above. When taking it out it can travel some distance if you're not careful !
Put the O-ring into the narrow groove.

Make sure the O-ring is lubricated with grease. Push the cap over the main section of the hub and insert the screws shown (3) to hold it in place. The screws locate in the wide groove.

When stripped the hubs were packed full of grease. When I assembled them I just used a paintbrush to apply grease to every surface as I put it together.
O-ring is BS-037 N70 try your local O-ring supplier or I can source them.
To fit back to the front hubs you have to take off the endcap (3 screws). Fit a gasket to the hub, slip the driveshaft through the centre section, install the 5 hub bolts then fit the washer & castle nut to the end of the driveshaft. Install a new splitpin, apply some grease to the nut and then re-fit the outer cap of the freewheel hub (3 screws).
Now decide whether to leave it engaged or disengaged.
Just found some exploded views on the Interweb. Not branded Selectro and the second one is for a different vehicle. Second picture shows some 'special' washers for the hub bolts, I wondered what the raised pips were for each side of the hub bolt holes.....

Scraped out a lot of the grease & dirt then degreased with mineral turps.
Most of the black paint had worn off so wire brushed to remove dirt & corrosion followed by a light sand with fine emery paper. Then degreased with metho and after masking off a quick paint with rattle can black epoxy paint.
Then some emery paper on a flat surface to sand off the paint on the logo/instructions.
