Refitting rear wheel - where do the spacers go?

[davepreston]

have changed sprockets, and i am now on reassembly, for some reason with the spacers (x 2 one thick one , one thin one) i can not get the rear spindal through to the other side of weel to put third spacer on, help please...:smt017

[Dave20046]

Just about to do mine in a minute pal, I'll try help when I've done that providing someone useful hasn't already popped by.

[davepreston]

on reassemley you have three spacers a thick one, a thin one and a yo - yo shaped one, if i remember correctly the thick one and the thin one go on the sprocket side the yo - yo one goes on the brake disk side. is it thin one nearest to swing arm thick one sitting in sprocket? or am i compleatly wrong?
p.s. cheers davenumbers need all help i can get

Go to this site

Choose your year and model of bike, choose rear wheel, and you'll get a nice diagram of where everything goes:D


Edit..................pah, beaten by Charlie13..................but mine's bigger!

[charlie13]

are you sure about that fnarr fnarr ;-)

[davepreston]

for some reason the oil washer will not fit over the axel????
number 16 in the diagram from charlies post, i am confussed

[Lissa]

Are you supporting the rear wheel on something? Sounds an obvious question, but even if it's slightly out of alignment you'll struggle.

[davepreston]

yep the wife is holding it

yep the wife is holding it

I used to hold the wheel for Pete, but tbh I had problems holding it steady enough, ( it got sodding heavy if he took more than a few seconds to get the axle through) so he used a pile of books to bring it up to the right height

Generally a block of wood is high enough to bring it up to my right height on my Pointy and i can fit the spacers in a do it fast enough so it all holds together. A good hammer helps with alignment too.

[davepreston]

the oil seal ring doesnt go back over the spindal

[charlie13]

that item 16 (oil seal) you're referring to seats in the sprocket carrier over the sprocket carrier bearing.

[charlie13]

you had any joy yet dave?

[davepreston]

dam photo's wont go up arrrgggg
bad discription time
the problem is a concave washer that does not fit over the spindal past the threads now i know it came from the rear wheel
im ten minutes from kicking suzi to death

[maviczap]

Are you sure the chain adjuster block hasn't moved in the left side of the swingarm?
Make sure all the holes are lined up.
Sorry if it's obvious, but I did this last week after I'd swapped sprockets.

Take the wheel out and make sure the spindle passes cleanly through the spacers before offering it up. Then all it's got to do is pass through the chain adjuster blocks.

[charlie13]

you mean this one, 30.5mm outside diameter, just a bit bigger than a 2p piece?

apologies for fuzzy pic

[davepreston]

every thing is perfect apart from this concave washer without it spindle slips right in no probs

[davepreston]

3569

yes that bloody thing

[charlie13]

it goes on the end of the spindle after the rectangular plate

[haggis]

Is that the washer that's held between the spindle nut and the chain alignment washer?

If it is then it's got distorted by tightening the axle repeatedly. Beat it flat with a hammer. Then just get a round file and clean it's bore up for now. Replace when u get the chance.

[davepreston]

im going to hide in shame for the next few days :oops:
charlie thanks for saving my sanity beers on me

[charlie13]

happy to be of assistance :-)

[Lissa]

Thank God for that! I'd turned the spare room upside down looking for the rear wheel bits to see if I could figure out the problem, but couldn't find where Pete has stashed them:rolleyes:

Better go put everything back now:p

[Dave20046]

doh!
Atleast it's sorted dave :thumbsup:
My issues never get resolved that fast.

[Quiff Wichard]

no shame..
none at all.
that is what this forum is all about..

now next time you will know and do it in half the time and inthe future you can give assistance to someone else who will have the same problem-- because they surely will.. I know I did when I started doing my own servicing etc and now I will do anything- you have to live 'n learn.

well done- all back together- and you made sure you did the chain corectly and tightening the wheel nut up made sure the wheel was aligned- course you did..

Hehe t'otha way around with YC and me, I'd be the one to whack the axle through with the hammer while YC did all the heavy lifting :D

Glad tis sorted Dave, now tha knows! :cool:

[appollo1]

yep the wife is holding it

:smt046


Bless her

[davepreston]

No I was talking about that itchy rash you gave me ;)

If that washer is distorted, then you are tightening the axle up too much IMO. The Curvy rear axle nut torque is only 65NM.

Funny story though:p
