◆
Pull the wheel backwards, removing it
from the swing arm from behind, carefully
removing the disc from the brake caliper.
NOTE
The left spacer ring (10) and the
right spacer ring (11) remain locate in their
seats on the wheel; but if they have come
out of their seats retrieve them.
NOTE
The torque plate (12) of the brake
caliper (13) remains installed on the right
side of the rear fork.
Proceed with care. If the final drive unit
(14) is installed on the flexible coupling hol-
der (15), do not overturn or rotate the rear
wheel in horizontal position on the rear
sprocket side (A), since the final drive unit
would come off and fall, and this may da-
mage the rear sprocket (9).
NOTE
If the wheel is in the normal run-
ning position (vertical) or in horizontal posi-
tion with the rear sprocket facing upwards
and in both cases secured against overtur-
ning, it is not necessary to remove the final
drive unit.
NOTE
Do not unscrew the five nuts (16).
The complete final drive unit must be
withdrawn from the flexible coupling hol-
der.
◆
Working (B) with both hands on the outer
diameter of the sprocket (9), withdraw
the final drive unit parallely to the wheel
axis.
REASSEMBLY
If the final drive unit has been removed
(14):
NOTE
Introduce the final drive unit, pa-
rallely to the wheel axis, inserting the flexi-
ble couplings in the corresponding seats
on the flexible coupling holder (15).
◆
Working (C) with both hands on the outer
diameter of the sprocket (9), insert the fi-
nal drive unit in the flexible coupling hol-
der (15).
While reassembling the rear wheel, be
careful not to damage the brake line, the
disc and the pads.
NOTE
Perform the follow operation only
if the left spacer ring (10) and/or the right
spacer ring (11) have come out of their se-
ats on the wheel:
◆
Install the left (10) and right (11) spacer
rings in their seats on the wheel with the
larger diameter towards the outside of
the vehicle (see figure).
Before proceeding with the reassembly,
make sure that the torque plate (12) of
the brake caliper (13) is positioned cor-
rectly; the plate slot must be inserted in
the appropriate stop pin (17) in the inner
part of the right side of the swinging
arm.
Insert the disc in the brake caliper care-
fully.
