ROYAL ENFIELD WORKSHOP MANUAL 

 

9. Reassembly of Brake Shoes to Cover Plates 

Assemble each pair of shoes with their return 

springs  on  to  the  pivot  pin  and  operating  cam, 
putting  a  smear  of  grease  in  the  grooves  of  the 
pivot pin and on the operating faces of the cam. 
Now  fit  the  assembly  into  the  cover  plate, 
putting  a  smear  of  grease  on  to  the  cylindrical 
bearing surface of the operating cam and secure 
with  the  pivot  pin  locknut,  28715,  and  washer, 
17551.  Fit  the  operating  lever,  38905  or 38906, 
on  its  splines  in  a  position  to  suit  the  extent  of 
wear  on  the  linings  and  secure  with  the  nut, 
10314,  and  washer,  14613.  Note  that  the 
position  of  the  operating  levers  may  have  to  be 
corrected when adjusting the brake after refitting 
the  wheel.  The  range  of  adjustment  can  be 
extended by moving these levers on to different 
splines.  Limit  of  wear is reached  when  the cam 
is turned through nearly 90° with the brake hard 
on  so  that  there  is  a  danger  that  the  operating 
springs  cannot  return  the  brake  to  the  off 
position. 

 
 

10. Floating Cam Housings 

Note that the cam housings, Part No. 26836, 

are  intended  to  be  left  free  to  float.  The  bolt 
holes  in  the  cam  housings  are  slotted  and  the 
securing  pins,  Part  No.  252,  are  provided  with 
double  coil  spring  washers  beneath  their  heads 
to  enable  them  to  be  tightened  sufficiently  to 
prevent  the  cam  housings  moving  under  the 
influence of road shocks, while at the same time 
they  can  be,  and  should  be,  left  free  enough  to 
be  capable  of  being  moved  by  hand  in  the 
direction of the slots. The pins, 252, are secured 
by locknuts, 7916, which are centre punched as 
an additional precaution. 

The leading shoes (i.e., those towards the rear 

of  the  machine)  have  a  servo  action  which 
renders  them  more  effective  than  the  trailing 
shoes. This servo action causes the linings on the 
leading shoes to wear more quickly than those on 
the  trailing  shoes  and  at  the  same  time  tends  to 
lift  the leading  shoes off  the  cams  and  press the 
trailing shoes harder on to the cams. With a fixed 
cam housing the result is that the majority of the 
cam  pressure  is  applied  to  the  less  efficient 
trailing shoe. By leaving the housing free to float 
the  cam  can  follow  up  the  leading  shoe  thus 
maintaining equal pressure between the cam and 
the two shoes and so making full use of the more 
efficient leading shoe. Owing to the servo action 
the wear on the leading shoe with a floating cam 
housing  is  greater  than  that  of  the  trailing  shoe 
and in time the limit of float of the cam housing 
will  be  reached,  after  which  the  brake  will 
continue  to  function  as  a  fixed  cam  brake  with 
some loss of efficiency. This can be restored by 
removing the shoes and fitting them in the  

opposite  positions.  Floating  cam  brakes  are 
self-centering  and  there  is  no  need  to  take  any 
special  precautions  to  see  that  the  two  linings 
are  of  equal  thickness  or  that  the  brake  shoe 
assembly is centred in the drum. 

 

11. Refitting Brake Cover Plates 

After  assembling  the  brake  shoe  pivot  pins 

and operating cams into the cover plates repack 
the hub bearings with grease. The recommended 
greases  are  Castrolease  (Heavy),  Mobilgrease 
(No.  4),  Esso  Grease,  Energrease  C3  or  Shell 
Retinax  A.  These  are  all  medium  heavy  lime 
soap  or  aluminium  soap  greases.  The  use  of 
H.M.P. greases which have a soda soap base is 
not  recommended  as  these  tend  to  be  slightly 
corrosive  if  any  damp  finds  its  way  into  the 
hubs. 

Before  fitting  the  distance  washers  and  felt 

washers  make  sure  that  the  inside  of  the  brake 
drums  are  quite  clean  and  free  from  oil  or 
grease,  damp,  etc.,  and  replace  the  brake  cover 
plate  assemblies.  Securely  tighten  the  cover 
plate nuts, 31347. 

 

12.

 

Wheel Rim 

The  rim  is  Type  WM2-19  in.  plunged  and 

pierced  with  forty  holes  for  spoke  nipples. The 
spoke holes are symmetrical, i.e., the rim can be 
assembled  to  the  hub  either  way  round.  Rim 
diameter after building is 19.062 in., tolerances 
on the circumference of the rim shoulders where 
the  tyre  fits  being  59.930/59.870  in.  The 
standard steel measuring tape for checking rims 
is  5/16in.  wide,  .011  in.  thick  and  its  length  is 
59.964/ 59.904 in. 

 

13. Spokes 

The spokes are of the single butted type 8-10 

gauge  with  90°  countersunk  heads,  angle  of 
bend  95°-100°,  length  6

5

/

8

  in.,  thread  diameter 

.144 in., 40 threads per inch, thread form British 
Standard Cycle. 

 

14.

 

Wheel Building and Truing 

The  spokes  are  laced  one  over  two  and  the 

wheel rim must be built central in relation to the 
nuts  which  secure  the  brake  cover  plates.  The 
rim should be trued as accurately as possible, the 
maximum  permissible  run-out  both  sideways 
and radially being plus or minus 1/32in. 
 

15. Tyre 

The  standard  tyre  is  Dunlop  3.25-19in. 

Ribbed tread. 

When removing the tyre always start close to 

the  valve  and  see  that  the  edge  of  the  cover  at 
the other side of the wheel is pushed down into 
the well in the rim.
