Answer 1

Ok, I didn't give that thumbs-down, but I have to say that the whole "throw it away and buy a new one" mentality is what has caused an awful lot of problems in the world.  Sheesh.   A) It's wasteful and expensive.  B) It's giving up without a try.  And C) It's fun and satisfying to actually think and work through a problem sometimes.  There is a lot of value in not being a "disposable" person.    :o)

Anyway, I found this link http://www.oldroads.com/shim3spd.html ....hope it can help you out if it's the same model.   Also, I'd never seen this site before but it's great!  Didn't see much about Shimano on it but you might find it very helpful:  http://hubstripping.wordpress.com/hub-st...  

Have fun, hope you get it reassembled and running!   :o)

go to a bicycle store and buy a new rim.. it'll all be in tact when you get it and they'll even true it up for you!

you win both ways.
