Here is the description of gr_paul from www.bikeguide.org :
This past weekend I took my Geisha apart, and removed the 3 washers to give it more slack. also to grease the inside good. I took pics before and after, to show how much slack comes stock & with the 3 spacers removed.
I ended up buying a 19 mm cone wrench, cause one of the studs was loose and I couldn’t get the wheel off my bike. Impossible without one.
Take your time taking the hub apart, remember how everything goes.
to get the geisha apart....
-take off both side studs -turn out the driver -rubber hammer the axle out from the drive side -remove bearing on non drive side -remove spacers (not the hat spacer) from the axle -grease the driver[this is the threads. Also, don’t forget to grease the clutch right above the spring, and the back side of the clutch where it runs back into that spacer. p.w.] reassemble (make sure everything is seated nice)
Here is the amount of slack you are given by taking out the three washers in the hub with a normal ~ 2.75 gear ratio.

And After...

That is almost double the slack...
