WHEELS, BRAKES AND TYRES
F3
To remove the left-hand bearing, first prise out the
circlip (
H
), then insert the spindle from the right-hand
side and drive out the bearing with its dust cover.
Sports models will have a shim fitted between the dust
cover and the bearing face.
Before checking the bearings, wash thoroughly in
paraffin and, if possible, blow out with a high pressure
air line. Examine carefully for signs of roughness and
excessive play, indicating broken balls or damaged
tracks.
Fitting New Bearings
Place the larger of the two bearings squarely in
position on the right-hand side of the hub and, using a
piece of tubing, drive in the bearing. It is essential that
the force applied is on the outer ring of the bearing,
not the inner ring. Screw in the bearing retainer in an
anti-clockwise direction (left-hand thread), using a peg
spanner.
Insert the wheel spindle, screwed end first with
shim fitted, from the left-hand side and tap it gently
home until the spindle shim rests on the inner ring of
the bearing.
Apply a liberal coating of grease to the inner face of
each bearing and fit the left-hand bearing over the
spindle. Drive it into the housing until the dust cap
will just clear the circlip groove and replace the dust
cap and circlip. Do not omit to fit the shim between
the dust cap and bearing (Sports models only).
Front Brake Shoes
After the brake plate has been removed from the wheel
the brake shoes can be released by levering them
outwards and upwards off the cam and fulcrum pin.
The springs are very strong; so take care not to trap
the fingers behind the shoes.
NOTE:—Avoid handling serviceable brake linings
with greasy hands.
FIG. F3.
REAR WHEEL
Rear Wheel Removal
With the machine firmly supported on its centre stand,
disconnect the rear chain at its spring link and unwind
the chain off the rear wheel sprocket on to a sheet of
clean paper. It is advisable to leave the chain in
position on the gearbox sprocket.
Take off the brake rod adjuster, and unscrew the
torque arm bolt (
C
) Fig. F3. Disconnect the
speedometer cable from its drive unit and pull the
inner cable clear.
Unscrew the spindle nuts (
A
) Fig. F3, and pull the
wheel out of the fork ends, at the same time freeing
the brake rod from the lever swivel pin. It may be
found necessary to lean the machine slightly to the left
to enable the wheel to be withdrawn from the right-
hand side. Take care not to lose the distance piece
fitted on the right-hand side of the spindle, next to the
speedometer gearbox.
If possible, avoid disturbing the setting of the chain
adjusters (
B
) while the wheel is out of the frame, and
when replacing ensure that the adjusters are pressed
firmly against the fork ends.
