REMOVAL OF WHEELS 

Front wheel (See fig. 36) 

To remove the front wheel disconnect the front brake cable from the operating lever on 
the hub cover and unscrew cable adjuster B. 

Undo nut -C- which secures the wheel spindle to the right fork member and bolt B which 
secures the left hand member, taking out the wheel spindle. Now push the wheel down 
just sufficiently to free the brake block from its anchoring lug on the left fork member and 
back it out. 

N.B. - When re-assembling don't forget to insert the brake block in its anchorage 
on the left fork member. 

 

Fig. 36 

Rear wheel (See fig. 37) 

Unscrew nut A which secures the wheel spindle to the rear drive box and the nut which 
secures the stay to the brake block. Undo the rear brake adjusting thumb screw (B) and 
bolt C which locks the spindle to the rear fork and withdraw the spindle. Pushing the 
wheel to the left will free the wheel from the sleeve in the drive box thus allowing the 
wheel to be removed by leaning the machine sideways. 

N.B. - When re-assembling don't forget to insert the anchoring brace to the brake 
block.
