Bra~Drum; Replacing Wheel Bearings; Installing Front Wheel - Yamaha LB50IIAC Service Manual

Brake drum
Oil or scratches on the inner surface or the
brake drum will impair braking performance
or result in abnormal noises. Remove oil by
wiping with a rag soaked in lacquer thinner or
solvent. Remove scratches by lightly and
evenly polishing with emery cloth.
Replacing wheel bearings
If the bearings allow play in the wheel hub or
if wheel does not turn smoothly, replace the
bearings as follows:
1. First clean the outside of the wheel hub.
2. Drive the bearing out by pushing the
spacer aside (the spacer "floats"
between the bearings) and tapping
around the perimeter of the bearing in-
ner race with a soft metal drift pin and
hammer. Either or both bearings can be
removed in this manner.
3. To install the wheel bearing, reverse the
above sequence. Be sure to grease the
bearing before installation. Use a
socket that matches the outside race of
the bearing as a tool to drive in the bear-
ing.
Installing front wheel
