4. Dismantling the Rear Brake Shoes.
After separating the cover plate from sprocket assy, unscrew the brake shoe pivot pin lock nut and
the operating lever nut. The assembly of brake shoes, return springs, pivot pin and operating cam can
be removed from the cover plate by unscrewing the pivot pin and applying light blows with a hammer
and drift on the end of the operating cam. The return spring can then be unhooked from the brake
shoes.
Brake linings are supplied in pairs and are of bonded type hence linings cannot be seperated and
refixed with new linings.
5. Removal of bearing from centre hub and re-assembly
The bearing from the centre hub can be removed by inserting a small rod of 6mm dia. Insert the rod
through the bearing at one end and through the slit provided, at the ends of the bearing distance tube.
Hit the rod with a small mallet on radially opposite sides of the bearing. The other bearing also can be
removed by hitting it from opposite side after the removal of grease seal.
To remove the hub spindle (short) and bearings from the brake drum, having already removed the
brake cover plate assy., hit outer end of the spindle with a brass hammer or mallet thus driving it out
of the bearing. Now the grease seal and the bearing from the brake drum can be removed one after the
other.
The fit of the bearings in the hub barrel is important as in the case of front wheel.
To fit the bearings in the hub, use the two hollow drifts proceed as follows. In order to make sure
that there is clearance between the inner faces of the bearings and the bottom of the recess, first fit the
sealed bearing at the cush drive side of the centre hub so that the bearing will sit in the housing flush
with the boss face. Then place the distance tube from other end and press the second bearing and also
the grease seal. (small)
NOTE:
Before replacing the bearings in the centre hub as well as sprocket brake drum, pack with
medium/heavy lime soap or aluminium soap grease. The use of HMP grease which have soda soap
base is not recommended as these tend to be slightly corrosive if any dampness finds its way into the
hub.
6. Re-assembly of brake shoes
Make sure that the brake shoe pivot pin is really tight in the cover plate and smear grease in the
grooves of the pivot pin and on the operating face of the cam. Also smear grease on the cylindrical
