Motomag rear Coaster Brake .....Help !!

[AL]

Ive just dug out a pair of  ancient, but sound looking   Motomags , ive had lined up for a Roger Decoster Mongoose iam restoring.

I want to keep the Bendix Coater brake set - up, but not sure untill I put new tyres on , and have a ride if the rear wheels working OK ?   Seems to be braking ok , but not taking up the drive......      Has anyone striped one down    can you get a repair kit   
Any advice   , would be great  Guys ......

It sounds like the spring needs renewing, I`m not sure if anybody has got a breakdown of a Bendix coaster, but there should be one of a Suntour or Shimano and they can`t be that different

there's a link to rebuilding a suntour coaster brake via the "links" page on pat schoolen's flatlandfuel.com website.

this may be some use, as i'm pretty sure bill's right when he says they gotta be fairly similar, cos the freecoaster conversion that acs did back in the eighties was compatible with both the suntour and bendix setups.

hope this helps,

Brian.

Cheers guys that a real help..  Ive printed off that diagram....  I striped it down last night , and its in a million pieces, in a bath of de-greaser at the moment 

My uncle is a watch repairer !    So i may take it over to him , one night
