How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

Hi Jordan

Were you able to set up your bearings with the required shims as per the shop manual????

Doing a great job....messy but great.... I used Moly grease for the front axle.... took weeks to get it all out from under my finger nails....... that is when I discovered that rubber/latex/vinyl gloves from Princess had an expiration date....... never stock up when on sale!!!!!! they dry up sitting on the shelf.

Cheers

Yes the shins were fine. The caps already had all the shims and everything lined up just fine. I made sure to mark each shim cap so they all went back on in the same spot.

Now to my annoyance, I discovered I forgot to install the outer front hub bearing spacer before I installed the bearings. I fear the bearings won’t come out without damage and I’ll have to order new ones. But I’ll go carefully and slowly.
