Chapter 5 Wheels, brakes and tyres

3 Remove the spring pin which retains the torque arm nut,

then remove the nut and disengage the torque arm from the

brake plate. Slacken off the two wheel spindle drawbolt

adjusters, having made a note of their position against the

graduations on the fork ends. Pull out the split pin from the

castellated wheel spindle nut, and remove the nut. It should be

noted that if the spindle nut is on the left-hand side the exhaust

system must be removed to allow the wheel spindle to be

withdrawn. Alternatively, remove the lower suspension

mounting bolts to allow the swinging arm to be moved to clear

the end of the silencer. The spindle can now be withdrawn, and

the wheel lowered clear of the frame.

10 Rear brake: examination and renovation

1 With the rear wheel removed from the frame, the brake

plate assembly can be pulled clear of the drum for examination.

The rear brake is identical to the front drum brake described in

Section 4, and the remarks in that Section can be applied.
