-
Place a large washer (1) e.g. inner fork thrust washer next to one oil seal track.
-
Cover exposed plain length of fulcrum shaft with suitable temporary spacers. (2) fit nuts and tighten to correct torque.
-
Apply pressure to fulcrum shaft at large washer end, turning it to settle taper rollers and using feeler gauge (3) measure minimum distance between
large washer and hub carrier.
-
Apply pressure to opposite end of fulcrum shaft (4) and measure maximum distance between washer and hub carrier.
NOTE:End play of fulcrum shaft in hub carrier is now obtained by subtracting the minimum measurement from the maximum measurement.
This end play must be replaced by a pre-load of 0.05 mm (0.002 in) by removing shims. to a total thickness of 0.05 mm (0.002 in) more than the end
play, from between spacer tubes:
For example:
Assume end play found to be 0.25 mm (0.010 in).
Therefore shims to the value of 0.25 + 0.05 mm 0.30 mm (0.010 + 0.002 in 0.012 in) must be removed to give correct pre-load.
-
Release nut from large washer end of fulcrum shaft and detach spacers, washer. oil seal track and bearing.
-
Remove one spacer tube and extract shims to thickness established to give pre-load.
-
Replace spacer tube, pack fulcrum shaft housing with grease and replace bearing and oil seal track.
-
Push out fulcrum shaft by inserting dummy shaft (1) and detach temporary spacers from fulcrum shaft.
-
Check that oil seal tracks are in position.
-
Press new oil seals (2) into fulcrum shaft housings and secure with oil seal retainers.
-
Replace rear hub and carrier assembly.
