MZ TS 150 - TS 125 and TS 150; Steering Bearing

First insert short pjeces of tubes, then larger ones. Fix
the swing arm by means of the 05-MW 26-4 centring
bolt (1) and push the new pin in place from the left-
hand side (see arrow). Make sure the indicated sur-
faces (see arrow in Fig. 135) of the bearing pin are
located below the retaining screws of the front carrier,
otherwise the next dismantling operation will meet
with difficulties.
The end clearance is balanced by means of the lock
nuts; the swing arm must slide down by virtue of its
own weight. Tighten the retaining screws and lock
them by means of nuts.

In order to ensure a certain permanent lubrication,
the use of molybdenum sulphide suspensate is recom-
mended.

7.2.2.1. Steering Bearing
The ball bearings are driven into the frame in the
following manner:
1. Press th,c lowcl. txiaring down to the stop, using the
intermediate ring 54 mm in diameter X 20 mm, so
that pressurc3 is exerted on the outer ring;
2. Insert the
disl;~ncc sleevc:
3. Press thc upper
bearing down until its inner ring
contacts thc distance sleeve; in this operation take
care that
the, distance ring, 54mm in diameter
X 40 mm. ih placed under the lower bearing in
order thal the lowc~ bearing is not pressed out;
and thcm ~~lso
cw~l plx,ssure on the intermediate
ring,
54 mm in d~;~rn~~t~~r X 20 mm, in order that
the innc.1 and
outer rings of the upper bearing prop-
erly cont~cct
thc~ir miltlng parts.
Since thc stc~~rlng components are mounted on ball
bearings, no
;rdjilst~ng opc'rat ions are required. The

operation is
147 Nm (15 kp-m) (use a box spanner or

The two bearing points of the front and rear swing-
arm bearing pins are provided with two rubber pack-
ing~ each to prevent the lubricating oil (only use
en-
gine oil or gear oil) from leaking away sidewards.
For fitting the packing rings, use the 13-MV 26-4 tap-
ered sleeve to prevent damage.
Bearing pins lubricated with grease by mistake must
be taken out and cleaned thoroughly.
Only use g e a
r o i l because of the narrow fit (cf.
Section 2.4.). Use perfectly tight lubricating nipples;
the bearing pins must be provided with an ample
