Title: front axle hub assembly
Post by: ricardo on July 21, 2019, 03:41:17 PM: taking prior advice from many of you . I have removed the hub assembly and will now take the rest apart. I noticed the bearing retainer looked a bit proud. Should it be screwed in further>

Post by: ricardo on July 21, 2019, 07:44:20 PM: Sorry crossed wires. You wrote " I should be screwed etc". I have no problems with that. naturally. well I removed the piece and inspected it and the seating of the bearings. It looked like the bearing was not fully seated 2 mm maybe. Also the the top od the thread was distorted due to use of the wrong tool. I bashed the bearings in successfully . I know not very scientific. cleared up the damage to thread and its pretty much ashamed now.

also I need to adjust the static pad. Ill do that tomorrow. The spring was very flaccid and seems to be useless. Should I replace this or is it of trivial function

Post by: ricardo on July 24, 2019, 11:41:23 AM: Ok. All fixed but I need to adjust the fixed pad with the screw adjuster. I don't have a spacer or feeler or whatever the dammed gadget is called. What should the space be and any suggestions around the problem.

Post by: taysidedragon on July 24, 2019, 02:02:42 PM: I'm pretty sure the method is to turn the screw out until there is resistance to the wheel turning, then adjust the screw in half a turn or so until the wheel turns freely.

Don't forget to tighten the locknut, making sure the screw doesn't turn at the same time!

P.S.. Buy a manual!

0.15mm clearance between fixed pad and disc. Buy some feeler gauges, it is a critical measurement.

You will need them for the tappets and the points anyway...

I give in. I'll buy the feeler gauge.
