Ok, It has been raining here in west TN since last night, non stop. I have a 120lb Weim. (grey dog looks like a lab) that I let out on the Garage so he could go do his business. Easier for me to dry him off if he comes back on the garage before I let him back in the house. Make a long story short I forgot he was out there so he got mad at me and grabbed my shop manual off of my work bench and drug it outside in the rain and destroyed it.

I was planning on pulling the rear wheel so that I could get the pulley re-chromed next week. Taking it off is pretty straight forward, but putting it all back together is another story. I don't have the spec's for tolerances and belt adjustment's,rear wheel alignment etc. Is there anyone out there that has a manual that would be willing to make a copy of the re-install section and e-mail or fax to me? I didn't see anything in the do it yourself section. Don't really want to spend $60 on a new manual just yet.

If not I would understand.

 

The rear axel nut torque is 60-65 ft/lbs. Belt deflection 5/16 to 3/8 inch with 10 lbs upward force i.e remember how tight belt is before you remove it. Do not excede 65 lbs to line up spring clip or you could seaze bearings per manual. Make drawing of how it comes apart. I will help more if I need to.

 

J, Thanks man, I appreciate that. Let you know if I need some help, which I probably will.

 

If I'm not mistaken, you are supposed to check the belt tension while sitting on the bike.
Have a well adjusted 1,

Also, sprocket installation, 2 drops red locktight per screw and torque to 55-65 ft-lbs. Wheel spacers (one on each side) should be installed with largest chamfered end facing away from wheel. Apply anti-seize lubricant to axle shaft before sliding through. Rear wheel alignment, distance should be equal from center of swingarm pivot shaft to center of rear axle + or - 1/32". I think the best place to measure this would be to find the center of the pivot shaft bolt heads on each side and mark them, the axle shaft centers have centers machined in. The manual is not clear on this, I need to find this out myself.

 

would you like a scan of the page(s)?

 

Looks like you will need a new shop manual. Instead of going to the dealer try Ebay first. I bought a 2003 Harley Softail shop manual brand new still in srink wrap for around $25.

 

Do you also have the torque specs for the rotor.
