TO REMOVE REAR WHEEL (Rigid Frame Models)
Place machine on rear stand
Disconnect rear lamp wire at connection near rear wheel spindle
Disconnect speedometer driving cable (Unscrew gland nut on cable )
Disconnect rear chain connecting link (Allow chain to hang clear of the rear wheel
sprocket without becoming disengaged from the gear box small sprocket ) Engage a
gear to prevent sprocket revolving
Slacken the two bolts securing rear portion of rear mudguard to its front portion
Loosen nut and washer from bolt securing mudguard side bridge and tool box stay to
tubular stay
Remove adjusting nut from rear brake rod
Slacken the two nuts (unscrew about four turns) retaining the rear mudguard side stays
to their studs
Slacken the two nuts on the rear wheel spindle
Remove the rear portion of the rear mudguard, with its stays, leaving tool box and stay
in position
Remove the rear wheel from the fork ends by twisting it sideways to release and clear
the rear brake cover plate anchor bolt and then withdrawing it to the rear
Re-fit in the reverse order but, before finally tightening the rear wheel spindle nuts,
ensure the speedometer gear box is so positioned that the speedometer driving cable
can be correctly replaced Also make certain that the slotted end of the brake cover
plate is correctly located on its anchoring bolt See illustration 20
When the wheel alignment is correct a piece of thin string stretched taut across both
wheels, about four inches from, and parallel to, the ground, should just touch each tyre
at both sides of the wheel centres
Alternatively, a straight wooden batten, about five feet long, is handy to use for checking
wheel alignment This should be applied, as In the case of string, parallel to and about
four inches from the ground
NOTE—Above remarks on wheel alignment applies only to Models with similar width
tyres back and front
On Models with larger rear tyre than front observe equal gap each side of latter when
checking
TO RE-FIT REAR WHEEL (Spring Frame Model)
Reverse the removal procedure, see that the speedometer drive dogs are engaged, but
leave the tightening of the nut that locates the speedometer gear box for the final
operation, le, after the speedometer cable has been re-connected and the exterior
axle nuts have been tightened (This also applies to Rigid Frame Models )
