17 Slide the wheel off the axle and
manoeuvre it out of the back of the machine
(see illustrations).
18 lnspect the splines on the axle and on the
inside of the hub for wear and damage (see
illustration). If the splines are worn, both
components should be renewed. To renew
the axle, the transmission relay box must first
be disassembled (see Chapter 2C).
lnstallation
19 Installation is the reverse of removal. Slide
the wheel onto the axle carefully to avoid
disturbing the alignment of the brake shoes.
Tighten the wheel nut to the specified torque
setting.

check and renewal
1 The front wheel bearings are housed in the
separate hub assembly on Speedfight models
and in the wheel hub on Trekker and Vivacity
models. There are no rear wheel bearings as
such, the rear axle/output shaft bearings are
housed in the transmission relay box (see
Chapter 2C).

race turns smoothly without any rough spots,
and that the outer race is a tight fit in the hub.
If a bearing grates or rattles, it is worn and
must be renewed. Note: Always renew the
wheel bearings in pairs, never individually.
4 To remove the bearings, stand the hub
assembly on a suitable spacer to allow the
bearings to be driven out.
Caution: Do n o t support the hub on the
brake disc when driving out the bearings.
5 Use a metal rod (preferably a brass drift
punch) inserted through the centre of the
bearing on the one side of the hub, to tap
evenly around the outer race of the bearing on
the other side (see illustrations). The bearing
spacer will come out with the bearing.
6 Turn the hub over and drive out the
remaining bearing using the same procedure.
7 Thoroughly clean the hub with a suitable
solvent and inspect the bearing seats for
scoring and wear. If the seats are damaged,
consult a Peugeot dealer before reassembling
the wheel.
8 Install a new bearing into its seat in one side
of the hub, with the marked or sealed side
facing outwards. Using the old bearing, a
bearing driver or a socket large enough to
contact the outer race of the bearing only (it
must not contact the inner race or balls), drive
it in squarely until it's completely seated (see
illustration).
9 Turn the hub over, install the bearing spacer
and drive the other new bearing into place.
10 lnstall the hub assembly and the wheel
(see Section 14).
