Stevens Walden 4051 ratchet disassembly?

[ScreechAwl]

I recently picked up a Stevens Walden PM21 socket set which appears to be complete with the exception of the hex key. The ratchet is model 4051 (pointed end). The ratchet back has a knurled wheel that doesn't look removable. I would like to get this open in order to lube it. Anybody have experience with these?

I have taken them apart. Put some pics up so I can see what you are working with.

On top of the knurled wheel there is a smooth round disc.
If you look close you can see a thin circular spring clip around it.
You need to pry the edge outward and then up with a razor blade or a sharp pic .
Then move along the spring prying it as you go.

There are 2 versions of 4051. One on left is an odd bird, difficult to work on, one on right is pretty easy.

Yes! I see it now. I didn't realize there was a spring clip there. Thanks.

How are those handles on the comfort scale?

Mine looks like the 3/8 one on the right. It doesn't have the fat head of the one on the left. My camera isn't working right now, so I can't post any pics. Maybe in the future I will take pics of the whole set. I assume the 5/16 hex key is the common "L" shaped variety right? Is it black or plated?

 

[Oldtuleguy]

It is usually silver in color, but not chrome.

I picked up a 5/16 hex key at Hab. Restore to make the set complete. I also took some pics with my phone. 2 of the hex sockets are actually 12-point. All are branded Walden. They were either replacements or a factory error of some kind. (The yellow card could be wrong)

Nice set! Looks very complete.

Awesome!

I'm looking for one of these ratchets. The bullet handle. Thanks

I found one online but I think it doesn't work in both directions. When I get it, will take apart and see what is needed. Any idea where to find parts if they are even available? Thanks in advance.
