Service Sheet No. 1011 (contd.) Front
Brake
The presence of the stub axle makes the procedure for the front brake somewhat different from that for
the rear.
Raise the front of the machine so that the front wheel is clear of the ground by placing a block of wood
approximately 2" thick underneath each leg of the centre stand. Remove the front wheel by taking off the
three wheel nuts.
Apply the front brake and remove the hub cap by unscrewing in a clock-wise direction; it has a left
hand thread.
Beneath the cap will be seen the wheel lock nut and a tab washer; flatten the tab on the washer and
unscrew the locknut in the normal manner, which is anti-clockwise. Take off the nut and the tab washer and
draw off the brake drum complete with bearings and oil seal. (Service tool No. 61-5033.)
Now, using two screwdrivers, prise the shoes up and away from the pivot bolt and brake cam.
To re-fit. Hold the two shoes with the springs fitted, open
them to form a V and press them down and over the pivot pin and brake cam, making sure that they are fitted
the correct way round, which is with the narrow portion against the brake back plate.
Slacken off the brake cable by screwing in the adjuster on the lower member, refit the brake drum
with the tab washer and lock nut, turning over the tab washer after the nut has been secured. Screw in the hub
cap by turning in an anti-clockwise direction and refit the wheel, finally resetting the brake cable
adjustment. After spinning the wheel to ensure that the brake is not binding.
Always make sure when removing wheels that they are fitted the correct way round, which is the rear
wheel with the valve on the right hand side of the machine and the front wheel with the valve on the left. If
the wheels are incorrectly fitted the alignment will be affected.
