FIG.D6.
Checking the swinging arm.
The two phosphor-bronze bushes can be tapped out
of the swinging arm pivot lugs with a suitable drift.
Alignment
Before a proper check of the swinging arm can be
made, it must be established that the bushes are in
good condition.
Insert the wheel spindle through the pivot bushes
and set the swinging arm in vee-blocks as shown in
Fig. D6. Place a suitable mandrel in the fork ends and
use small adjustable height jacks to set both the
mandrel and the pivot spindle parallel to the surface
table. If a mandrel for the fork end is not available,
then the rear wheel spindle can be used.
Now, using a Vernier gauge, check the forks ends
for alignment. Should there be less than ¼" (6•35
mm.) malalignment, it is permissible to correct it by
means of a suitable lever. Care must be taken,
however, to avoid causing further damage.
To check that the forks are square to the pivot, they
must be swept up at 90° to the position illustrated, so
that the pivot is vertical. Next, find the centre of the
pivot and check that all measurable points are in
accordance with the dimensions shown in Fig. D5.
NOTE:—There may also be variation in the rear
dampers and a careful examination should be made of
the overall length between the mounting eyes of each
unit. It is possible that one damper may be weaker
than the other, caused by the "settling" of a spring. If
this should be the case, it is advisable to renew the
springs in both dampers, using the information given
below.
REAR DAMPERS
The rear dampers or shock absorbers, are of the coil
spring type, hydraulically damped and are mounted on
bonded rubber bushes at each end. The actual damping
units are a sealed assembly and the only service work
that can be carried out on the dampers is for the
renewal of the springs.
To remove a damper, take out the top fixing bolt with
nut and washers then unscrew the lower fixing nut.
Pull the damper off the stud at the bottom and
withdraw from the top frame bracket.
