Front Wheel Removal
(
Bantam Supreme
)
Disconnect the brake cable at the lever on the brake cover plate and then remove
the nut securing the cover plate to the fork leg. Remove the caps at the bottom of the
fork legs, supporting the wheel as this is being done and withdraw the wheel. When
replacing make sure the spindle ends are level with the end faces of the caps and that
the cover plate nut is securely tightened.
Bantam Sports and Bushman
Wheel removal is similar to that for the Supreme model except that the brake cover
plate is anchored by a tongue on the fork leg. Make sure that the tongue and the
slotted brake plate are properly engaged when the wheel is replaced.
Rear Wheel Removal
Disconnect the speedometer cable from the drive unit and unscrew the adjuster
from the brake rod. The rear chain should be disconnected at its spring link and
unwound from the rear wheel sprocket. It is advisable to leave the chain in position
on the gearbox sprocket. It will also be necessary to uncouple the brake plate arm
from the swinging fork at
C
(Fig. 8). Finally, slacken the spindle nuts sufficiently to
allow the wheel to be withdrawn. During re-assembly make sure that the brake plate
bolt is securely tightened. Check also that the chain adjusters are firmly against the
fork ends.

Rear Chain Adjustment

except for full width hub, and the method of adjustment is the same for all models.
