Tom,
Thank you so much!!!! I owe you. You hit it right on the
head. It's
done. Bolted up the "keeper" as you call it and torqued
the axle and
it's great. Wow. What a chore.

Ray - I had a similar symptom on my Eldo after putting
on
new rear brake shoes.... turned out to be very simple -
I
forgot to tighten the face plate "keeper" or whatever
its
called and it slightly cocked the face plate, locking
everything up (while I had the rear wheel off I replaced
the throw out bearing so I'd removed the rod that holds
the intermediate rear brake linkage and "keeper" arm).
Tightened it down, e'thing back to normal. If I recall
correctly, the rear wheel axle torque spec's are over
100
ft/lbs, so it'd be pretty tough to overtighten.
Good luck - let us know what the resolution is. -tom

Ray,
Could it be when you tighten things up your |

Maybe the brake plate is being pushed up against the
drum to much when you
tighten the axle?

Hi,
Here's the scenario. Trying to mount the rear wheel on
the 73 Eldo. I
shimmed the bearings without the brakes installed, but
using the backing
plate of course. Mounted the wheel to the rear end,
still without brakes,
but with all hardware, tightened down the axle and the
wheel spins fine, no
side play. Installed the brakes, refitted the wheel,
tightened it down and
it won't budge. Took it off, removed the brakes,
compared the shoes and
lining to the old ones, same measurements, except for
lining thickness. I
can drop the brake assembly into the drum and it will
spin freely. The
linings aren't stopping the wheel from turning.
Never hooked up the brake linkage so that's not
interfering. New springs on
the brake shoes. Inside of drum is clean without |
| |
Can't figure out why the wheel turns great without the
brakes, then not at
all with them, when the brakes will turn freely inside
the drum before it's
attached to the bike. Have checked and triple checked
everything I know to
look for. All bearings, seals, shoes, and springs are
new and correct. Don't
know what else to investigate.
