My first freewheel swap took me two hours because I greased the threads like I was packing a wheel bearing, and the thing kept backing off on every ride. My buddy who wrenches at a shop in Portland laughed and said the torque is what holds it, not the grease, and the grease just lets it walk loose. Took me three tries to admit he was right. That old timer saved you a lot of road side walk of shame, trust me.
