Hi, I have a Western Flyer coaster brake hub which I believe was made by Musselman. It is not the skiptooth style. Strong brake but made moaning noise. When I opened it up I found the smallest bearing ring completely disintegrated. This is the outer one on the outside of the sprocket. I counted seven loose balls but can't be sure that's all there were. Does anyone know what bearing I need to replace the bad one and maybe a lead where to find it? Thanks!

You need a #23 bearing. If you can't find one you can replace it with loose bearings. Just use the same diameter balls and fill the cup minus one ball.
Here is a link to a list I found of bearing IDs. http://www.fattiretrading.com/bearings.html
