MINI-BIKE ASSEMBLY GUIDELINES
- 9 -
must allow the Brake Assembly to sit inside the drum without
bottoming so that the Drum rotates freely.
7.
BEGIN BRAKE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
❍
Place the 4-1/2" Brake Assembly (Item 9) onto the end of the
Rear Axle and into the Brake Drum so that it is flush against
the properly trimmed Nylon Spacers.
❍
Position the Brake Assembly with the “long fingers” of its
anchor brackets pointing forward,
i.e.
, horizontal to the
ground and pointing toward the front of the Mini-Bike, with
the Brake actuating arm pointing straight up.
8.
COMPLETE REAR WHEEL & BRAKE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
❍
Install a 5/8" x 1-1/4" Steel Bushing (Item 24) onto the end of
the Rear Axle (now extending out of the Brake Assembly).
❍
Push the Axle through the Frame’s left axle tab and center the
Axle between the tabs.
❍
Place a 5/8-18 Jamnut (Item 33) on each end of the Axle.
Tighten the Jamnuts until the Steel Bushings are snug and
can’t be rotated easily.
❍
Place a 5/8-18 Locknut (Item 31) onto each end of the Axle
and hand-tighten against the Jamnuts.
❍
Holding one Locknut in place with one wrench, back the
corresponding Jamnut off of its present position with another
wrench (less than one full turn) until the Jamnut is tight
against the Locknut. Repeat this procedure on both ends of
the Axle.
9.
ANCHOR BRAKE ASSEMBLY TO FRAME
❍
You will now anchor the Brake Assembly onto the lower
horizontal frame tubing using two Clamp Halves (Item 23),
one 5/16-18 x 1" Bolt (Item 27) and the single 5/16-18 x 2-1/
2" Full Thread Bolt (Item 28).
❍
The shorter 5/16-18 x 1" Bolt fastens the lower end of the
clamp. The longer 5/16-18 x 2-1/2" Full Thread Bolt fastens
the upper end of the clamp and fits into the slot between the
“long fingers” of the Brake Assembly’s backing plate.
❍
Use two 5/16-18 Locknuts (Item 30) to secure each of the
bolts. This procedure prevents the Brake Assembly from
rotating.
