well as the title says, I took my rear wheel apart on my huffy Camaro and cleaned and regreased everything.
I reassembled exactly as I took it apart so it is back together right.
however, there is now a very slight skip in the pedaling when I apply the brakes.
is this common? or is there an issue with the wheel I need to address.
when I apply the coaster brake and then pedal to begin pedaling again it skips about 1/2 complete turn of the pedals before it catches.
I never noticed this issue until I regreased everything.
someone mentioned the clutch may be worn out but I am not familiar with these things.
anyone know what the issue could be? it doesn't really affect me but I would like to fix it it rides great after this so it does not seem to be a major issue.
the wheel is a huffy stock wheel from 1968 and I used lithium grease on the wheel.
any ideas what it could be?

One thing I have noticed, sometimes hubs act "funny" till the grease moves around in the hub an the parts take the proper position. maybe ride it a ways and see if it gets better before pulling it apart again.
