WHEELS AND BRAKES
T O REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Place machine on centre stand.
Remove the split pin, and pin, retaining yoke end of front brake cable to the brake
expander lever.
Remove bolt retaining brake anchor stay to brake cover plate.
Slacken the nut on the left-hand end of front wheel spindle.
Remove the four nuts retaining the caps to the fork sliders, which will permit the removal
of the two caps and, putting pressure on the front wheel (in order to decrease the effective
height of the wheel spindle) the wheel can be withdrawn towards the front.
NOTE—The two caps
M U S T be refitted in same order and position as originally.
Therefore, lay them aside so that the order and position of assembly will be
correctly made.
TO RE-FIT FRONT W HE E L
Holding the left side cap on the wheel spindle, offer wheel up so as to engage the cap
with its securing studs. Then apply fixing nuts and washers but only loosely tighten.
NOTE—To pass the wheel spindle into position it may be necessary to apply pressure
to flatten the tyre so as to enable the spindle to pass the forward fixing studs.
Next fit the right side cap and again only loosely tighten the securing nuts. Now attach
the brake anchor arm, firmly tighten retaining bolt and refit yoke end and pin.
Next fully tighten the nuts securing the left side cap, taking care to keep the gap fore
and aft approximately equal. Then tighten the left side spindle nut and lastly the nuts
securing the right side cap.
Should any fork stiffness be apparent after refixing the front wheel, loosen the nuts
securing the right side cap and after working the fork up and down violently, retighten.
This action will ensure that the wheel clamp occupies its natural position on the spindle
end on which it is intentionally not positioned.
REAR W HE E L REMOVAL (ALL MODELS)
All I960 Models are fitted with a deep section one-piece rear mudguard, to enhance
appearance. This must inevitably affect rear wheel removal, the necessity for which is
infrequent these days. If it is desired to remove the rear wheel, the work entailed will
be facilitated if packing pieces, in the form of wood blocks, etc., are placed under the
central stand, when it is brought into operation to raise the rear wheel further away
from the ground.
TO REMOVE QUICKLY DETACHABLE REAR W H E E L
Place the machine on the centre stand.
Disconnect speedometer drive by unscrewing the cable gland nut and withdrawing
drive cable end from the speedometer gear box. DO NOT LOOSEN NUT SECURING
SPEEDO GEAR BOX
Then remove the wheel spindle end nut and washer and withdraw
spindle together with distance collar which will fall as spindle is withdrawn.
The wheel is now free to be removed, after leaning the machine at an angle.
In refitting it will be found best to offer up the wheel, insert spindle without the distance
collar and after engaging the driving pegs hold wheel in situ, withdraw the spindle and
insert the distance collar.
Upon tightening the spindle end nut make certain the collar end of the spindle is in
contact with the chain adjusting screw to ensure correct wheel alignment. Also see
that the speedometer gear box is positioned correctly.
TO REMOVE REAR WHEEL (NON-QUICK-DETACHABL E
TYPE)
Disconnect the rear brake rod, by taking out the split pin and yoke end pin.
Remove rear chain connecting link. A sheet of paper suitably placed will prevent chain
contamination with dirt.
Remove the bolt passing through the rear brake anchor lug and rear chainguard, watch
for the distance piece between chainguard.
