[QUOTE="stumpy lord, post: 22525, member: 207"] hi, first refer to the riders hand book for instruction on how to set up your wheel hubs, page37. Right this is how i do it. place one bearing on the hollow axle with the bearing against the shoulder, use a spacer thick enough to cover the plain part of the hollow axle, then fit the nut and tighten down. place the axle and bearing in the hub. now start to fit shims to the axle so that when you place the other bearing on the axle you have a nice running clearance. having got that far, you then fit annother thick spacer, and then the nut, tighten the nut down. Check the end float , If the bearings are tight you need to add a shim, if to slopy remove some shims. To carry the job out this way, will when you start to fit your back plates show that any problems of binding are due to the shimming of the back plates, and not of the bearings. please note that when you have completed the job, if you are using new felt seal they will temporaly take up your carefully adjusted end float. cheers stumpy lord [/QUOTE]
