  • 32 VL Front wheel (Axle) assembly

    I think I'm missing a Washer, Spacer, Dust Shield or something as when I got the bike the Left Rocker Plate Stud Nut strikes the Brake Side Cover before the axle it tight. See Photo.

    First photo I'm pointing to area in concern. Second photo is how it came apart and back together. In the box of parts I got with the bike I don't see anything like what I think I need.

    The Spare Parts book leaves a little to be desired with the lay out not in 3-D. I'm not sure but maybe I'm missing part # 4201-30 Bearing sleeve

    Your help will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Dear Herman, the layout is pretty well illustrated in my VL shop manual which I hope you have. You're missing spring 4190-30 and washer 4188-30 which fit between the rocker and the brake side cover. There is also a washer 4109-30 under the spring to stop it chafing the cover. Outside the rocker goes axle sleeve nut 4184-30.

      Mr. Slocombe
      Thank you for all your help. I'm sure there will be more questions as I progress with this restoration. I'll try not to be a pest.
      My book is with the painters at the present time. I left it with him so he could use it for reference to paint the tanks and fenders.
      He should have the paint done this week.

      Thanks
      Herman
