Dnepr MT10-36 - Rear Suspension Shock Absorber Disassembly and Assembly; Assembling the Fork

Assembling the Fork
Prior to assem bling, all the fork parts must be thoroughly clea-
ned of dirt an d washed with kerosene.
The
assembling should be carried out in the following order :
Assemble shock absorher 13 (Fig.
24), fit the spring, insert the
absorber together wi-th the spring into fork end pieces 17 and 18 and
' tighten with bo lt 16. Fit the body of a- ssembl ed gl a nd 8, guide bu-
· shes 9 and 11 and locking ring 12 ·on tube 10. Insert tube 10 into
end pieces 17 and 18 and screw the gland body on the end piece.
Coat the thread of the gland body with minium or bakelite lacquer.
'
Insert tube 10 with end pieces 17 and 18 into casings 7 with guide
sleeve 6 and pass it through bridge 5 of the steering column.
First secure tubes 10 in the bridg .e <by means of coupling bolts
26.
Then insert screws 22 with washers 23 into the drain holes of the
end pieces
and ti· ghten the screws. Pour 130 cm
3
of oi'l AC-8,
GOST 10541-<63 in each fork blade.
Before imstalling the front fork •on the frame, check the number
of balls in the steering column bearings (there must be 24 balls in
each bea ring). When fitting balls in the ra ces of the bearings pres-
sed into the frame head, use grease Lithol-24. Insert the fork into
the frame head and secure with nut 7 (Fig. 25), then install traver-
se 3 (Fig. 24) on the cones of tubes 10. Scr ew the ends of •shock alb-
sonber rods into nuts 2 (Fig. 25) and lock them with nuts.
Ensure that the clea· rance between the end faces of the check nut
and the upper tip of · the spring is within 0.2 and 0.4 mm. Slightly
screw in nuts 2, slacken bolts 26 (.Fig. 24), screw home nuts 2
(Fig. 25)
.on traverse 3 (Fig. 24) and tighten bolts 26; S'Crew up nut
4 (Fig. 25), a lso screw up absorber wing nut 1 and cotte r it.
Connect the front brake cable to the lever on the hrake disk, in-
sert the disk together with the wheel in ·between the fork blades.
Pass the fnont wheel axle through the hu:b and brake disk and screw
it up (left-hand thread) .
.
Secure the axle in the left-hand end piece of the fork blade by
means of nut 20 (Fig. 24).
