Topic: I need photo of right side rear axel assembly of 78 750f

[scout18]

I took the rear wheel off to work on the brake bleeder on my 78 750f and I am missing a spacer somewhere. I am pretty sure it is on the right side so if anyone can take a photo of their F  bikes right rear axle  I would sure appreciate it. Gremilns

try the bikebandit.com site, they have an exploded view of your rear wheel - i use these guys on reassembly lotsa times.

Thanks I have that view in my manual and I can't tell what order it goes in I think the spacer is a big washer and about 6mm thick or so.

 There are two spacers, one on each side of the wheel, that insert into the wheel hub. The one on the left side is the same diameter all the way across. The one on the right side has a smaller diameter that inserts into the wheel and a larger diameter that presses up against the brake arm. After the spacers are in the wheel the only other thing that fits inside the swingarm is the brake mounting bracket. Don't forget to put the chain tensioners on the swingarm before putting the axle through everything.

   In the future, you can do brake work by removing the caliper from the mounting bracket. That way you don't have to take the rear wheel off.

   Spacers are # 8 & 9   in this diagram

Oh?? And what, pray tell, requires work on your brake bleeder??

Sweet!   Take good care of that stock muffler,upperlake. Most of the ones I see are rotted out so they're getting harder to come by.

The darn thing had stood outside for a good deal of the time the PO owned it when I went to crack
 the bleeder open it broke off. Well I went and got an easy out and followed the instructions for drill size and applied heat around  it and  broke the easy out off in the bleeder. So I went to the local NAPA store and got a part number BF117 which is a brake bleeder repair nipple that I learned about in the archives. Next I took a dremel tool and ball file and relieved the bleeder remants around the easy out and knocked it loose with a  screwdriver/ punch. Worked like a charm, and drilled out and tapped the caliper for a 1/8 NPT thread and VIOLA. New nipple. I installed new pads and a stainless brake line  from my rearset that I built a bracket for and now I have an oprational rear brake. Now it seems that Iam missing a washer or something as there is aboout a 1/4 inch gap between all of the parts that you see in the above photos.  Thanks for those I am just reluctant to squeeze the swingarm down that far as it seems that I am running out of threads on the axle.

 1/4" is a lot of extra room. I have to squeeeeeze everything in when mounting my rear wheel('78 750F). If all the parts are present then maybe something else is amiss.

Here's mine...

I did have a washer on the right side but I can't find it. I really just needed to see if the brake went up against the hub as it was a few days ago that I took the wheel off.

Thanks to you guys for your input. I went to the hardwarestore and got a  couple of washers to use as spacers and it worked out great.
