Loose SS freewheel

[Joe Bernard]

Hi gang, I'm a cassette-and-derailer person, I know nothing of the singlespeed freewheel on my Frank Jones. I could hear a ticking sound when pedaling so I hopped off and wiggled stuff and discovered there's a wiggly-wobble in the (used) freewheel. Can I tighten that up with a tool on the locknut, or is my used fw all used up?

Is the outer bearing race loose? That would certainly cause a wobble, and could lead to ball bearings escaping if very loose. It's reverse threading so using a hammer and punch, just see if it wants to snug up.
