Front Wheel
With Dual 6in. Brake
1. Removal from Fork
To remove the front wheel from the fork
place the machine on the centre stand and front
stand, if fitted, or alternatively with sufficient
packing (about 2 in.) beneath each side of the
stand to lift the wheel clear of the ground when
tilted back on to the rear wheel. Slacken brake
cable adjustments and disconnect cables from
handlebar lever and from operating cam levers
on hub. Unscrew the four nuts securing the fork
bottom tube lug caps (Part No. 38593) and allow
the wheel to drop forwards out of the front fork.
Make sure that the machine stands securely on
the rear wheel and centre stand-if necessary
place a weight on the saddle or a strut beneath
the fork to ensure this.
2. Removal of Brake Cover Plate Assemblies
Lock the brake "on" by pressure on the
operating lever, 38905 (R.H.) or 38906 (L.H.),
and unscrew the cover plate nuts 31347. The
right and left hand cover plate assemblies can
then be withdrawn from the respective brake
drums.
3. Removal of Brake Shoes and Springs
This is best done by unscrewing the pivot pin
locknuts, 28715, and the operating lever nuts,
10314, after which the assembly of brake shoes,
return springs, pivot pin and operating cam can
be removed from the cover plate by light blows
with a hammer and drift on the ends of the pivot
pin and the operating cam, see Fig. 2. The return
springs, 29236, can then be unhooked from the
spring posts in the brake shoes thus allowing the
whole assembly to fall apart.
4. Replacing Brake Linings
Brake linings are supplied either in pairs
ready drilled complete with rivets or ready
fitted to service replacement brake shoes.
