(4) Install brake drum and sprocket assembly. Lock brake to hold drum in place while installing wheel ([fig. 84]).
(5) Install rear wheel (par. [127]). NOTE: If rear chain is in need of adjustment, it should be done at this time.
(6) To equalize brake shoes, loosen nut on brake shoe adjustable pivot stud (on outside of brake side plate), and while applying pressure on brake foot pedal (to “center” the brake shoes within the drum), retighten the pivot stud nut.
(7) After new or relined shoes have been installed, check foot pedal for free play (step b above).
97. FRONT WHEEL BRAKE ([fig. 62]).
a. Linkage (control). Handle bar hand lever control wire which operates front wheel brake can be adjusted and or replaced. Keep brake control wire lubricated (through oiler in housing and at ends of housing) with engine oil.
b. Remove Control Wire. Remove control wire clamp nut from brake lever clevis, and free lower end of control wire from clevis.
(1) Remove cotter pin and flat washer from hollow pin, permitting hollow pin to be pulled out of hand lever. Control wire can now be pulled out of housing through the hole in hand lever.
c. Install Control Wire. Apply grease or engine oil to new control wire and insert, through hand lever, into control wire housing. Use caution when inserting a new control wire into housing, to prevent wire end from fraying. A frayed wire with loose end strands will not feed through the housing.
(1) With control wire in housing, insert hand lever hollow pin so that narrow slot straddles control wire: then fit flat washer over end of hollow pin, retaining both with cotter pin.
