ROYAL ENFIELD WORKSHOP MANUAL

SECTION Kl

Front Wheel

With Dual 6 in. Brake

Fitted to " Meteor 700," 1953 onwards;

"500 Twin," "500 Bullet," "350 Bullet," 1955 onwards

1. Removal from Fork

To remove the front wheel from the fork

place the machine on the centre stand and

front stand, if fitted, or alternatively with

sufficient packing (about 2 in.) beneath each

side of the stand to lift the wheel clear of the

ground when tilted back on to the rear

wheel. Slacken brake cable adjustments and

disconnect cables from handlebar lever and

from operating cam levers on hub. Unscrew

the four nuts securing the fork bottom tube

lug caps (Part No. 38593) and allow the

wheel to drop forwards out of the front fork.

Make sure that the machine stands securely

on the rear wheel and centre stand - if

necessary place a weight on the saddle or a

strut beneath the fork to ensure this.

2. Removal of Brake Cover Plate
Assemblies

Lock the brake "on" by pressure on the

operating lever, 38905 (R.H.) or 38906

(L.H.), and unscrew the cover plate nuts

31347. The right and left hand cover plate

assemblies can then be withdrawn from the

respective brake drums.

3. Removal of Brake Shoes and
Springs

This is best done by unscrewing the pivot

pin locknuts, 28715, and the operating lever

nuts, 10314, after which the assembly of

brake shoes, return springs, pivot pin and

operating cam can be removed from the

cover plate by light blows with a hammer

and drift on the ends of the pivot pin and the

operating cam. The return springs, 29236,

can then be unhooked from the shoe spring
