WHEELS AND BRAKES
TO REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Place machine on both stands.
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effective height of the wheel spindle) the wheel can be withdrawn towards the front.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 MUST be re-fitted in same order and position as originally.
Therefore, lay them aside so that the order and position of assembly will be
correctly made.
When replacing the front wheel, observe the instructions already given in the Fork and
Frame Section and remember to depress the wheel when placing in position to get the
wheel spindle between the two sets of studs that retain the slider caps.
Do not attempt to use the FRONT STAND unless the machine is supported
by the centre standi (on SPRING FRAME MODELS) or by the REAR STAND
(on RIGID FRAME MODELS).
TO REMOVE REAR WHEEL (Spring Frame Models)
Place the machine on the centre stand. Remove the bolt, washer and nut, in rearmost
position on each tubular member fixing the hinged portion of the rear mudguard.
Disconnect the snap connector in the wire of the rear lamp.
Remove adjusting nut from rear brake rod.
Revolve rear wheel till the chain connecting link is in its most possible rear-most position.
Remove connecting link and allow chain to come right away from the rear wheel sprocket
but ensure it hangs so it cannot come away from the gear box sprocket.
Disconnect speedometer cable from speedometer gear box by unscrewing the cable
gland nut.
Slacken the nut, on the rear wheel spindle that positions the speedometer gear box.
Slacken both exterior nuts on the rear wheel spindle three complete turns.
Using adjustable wrench 017249, apply it to the hexagonal body of the adjusting cam
on the left-hand end of the wheel axle and turn the cam till, by pushing the wheel
forwards, the wheel is in its most forward possible position.
