– Remove the cylinder – b 6.5.1
: Use a suitable punch to drive the
anchor pin (1) out of the
crankcase, from the inside
outwards.
Do not drive out the pin in the other
direction as this would damage the
annular bead which was formed in
the crankcase bore when the pin
was originally installed. In such a
case neither the new anchor pin nor
the brake spring would locate
properly. Furthermore, the
crankcase could be damaged in this
way and possibly impair correct
operation of the chain brake.

Installing
– Before installing the new pin, coat
its knurled shank with Loctite –
b 16.
: Position the new pin (1) in the
bore so that the knurling on the
pin meshes with the existing
knurling in the bore. Turn pin
back and forth as necessary.
: Carefully tap home the pin
squarely to obtain dimension "a"
(about 4.3–4.7 mm).
– Install the cylinder – b 6.5.2
Coat all sliding and bearing points
