Fitting Rigid Rear Wheel
Bearing Adjusting Locknut. Turn the wheel over and place the spindle between
the:jaws of the vice (brake drum downwards) taking care to protect the thread
with
lead vice clamps. Screw both bearing adjusting locknuts onto the spindle and
tighten the lower until it.contacts the bearing but leaves the wheel free to rotate.
Lock the upper nut to the lower, then remove the wheel from the vice. Check
that the spindle will rotate freely by hand. Replace the wheel into the vice for the
next operation (brake drum uppermost).
Anchor Plate Assembly. Turn the brake lever towards the
"ON"
position: by
doing this the backward pressure on the brake cam
is
released. The brake shoes
are now in the
"OFF"
position and the anchor plate can be placed into the brake
drum. Screw the remaining shouldered locknut (small shoulder towards the brake
drum) onto the.spindlo and tighten fully to that already in position. Ease the brake
lever towards the
"ON"
position and spin the wheel to check for binding of the brake
shoes onto the brake drum.
Chain Adjuster Thrust Collar and Spindle Nut.
Place the thrust collar onto
the spindle with the shoulder inwards and screw the spindle nut on loosely. Repeat
for the opposite side.
