Installing Rear Wheel

06 Mar 2016 14:48

Finally getting warm enough here to start putting my old 750 twin back together.

My FSM talks about getting the chain set up correctly using the chain adjusters and that's all straightforward, I've adjusted chains before. Then it says "tighten the caliper holder sleeve nut securely." . It's a 36mm nut and I don't have a wrench even close to that big. Would "securely" mean basically as snug as you can get it with a crescent wrench?

Axel nut I can deal with, it's only 27mm and FSM says torque it to 72-101 ft/lbs.

My guess is the "caliper holder sleeve nut" is the bolt that secures the brake stay tomthe caliper/caliper bracket. By loosening it you are able to adjust the axle more freely.

Later. Doug
