324-Front Axle
Assy
Remarks:
Some remarkable things, which I noticed, are amongst others:
- 317-Lock Nut
Outer, Front Axle at the RH side is identical
to the one on the LH side. Both have RH thread! The stamped characters “R”
on the RH one and “L” on the LH one seem to have no meaning. Drawing
300-Wheels Assembly lists a quantity of 2 for Part 317-Lock Nut
Outer, Front Axle and this is consistent with what I found on my bike.
- 315-Axle
Bearing, Front has metric dimensions.
The Front Axle
Assembly consists of 324-Front Axle, which runs through 322-Swivel.
326-Swivel Pin Front Axle is
fitted in 322-Swivel; 325-Washer, Swivel and Front Axle is
fitted around the lower part of 326-Swivel Pin Front Axle
to compensate for the clearance between 324-Front Axle and 322-Swivel.
It is provided with small grooves to adhere grease. NB: On the photograph
Front Axle Components #1, the position of 325-Washer, Swivel and Front
Axle is incorrect!
On 322-Swivel, 315-Axle Bearing, Front is pressed and locked by
316-Lock Nut Inner, Front Axle. 316-Lock Nut Inner, Front Axle is
locked by 364-Lock Screw, Lock Nuts.
The assembled
324-Front Axle, 322-Swivel, 315-Axle Bearing, Front,
326-Swivel Pin Front Axle, 325-Washer, Swivel and Front Axle and
316-Lock Nut Inner, Front Axle, are locked up at the RH side with
317-Lock Nut, Outer, Front Axle and at the LH side with the LH 317-Lock
Nut, Outer, Front Axle , which is identical. Both nuts have RH thread and
are locked by means of 364-Lock Screw, Lock Nuts.
All three
324-Lock Screw, Lock Nuts are screwed into a Lock Nut, squeezing the LH and
RH side of the slid together resulting in locking the thread. This squeezing
takes place because only the part of the screw hole opposite to the head of
364-Lock Screw, Lock Nuts is threaded.
