6.3.3: To re-assemble the H Link (16), Shock Extender (7) & Seat-stay
(18) onto
IMPORTANT:
make sure the Seat tube of the Main Frame (15, not shown for clarity) is
inside of the assembly, as in figure 3. Also make sure the H Link is correct
side up, as per figure 10.
Starting with the Seat-stay (18) and the H Link (16), reference figure 4, first check
that the Shield Washers are in place in the H Link (see items 2 & 3 in figure 6) and
apply either SKF LGAF 3E or Castrol Optimol T anti-fret paste to the contacting
faces between the Shield Washers and Seat-stay (18). Then ensure that the Shield
Washers in the H Link (16) are not pushed out, as you place the Seat-stay (18)
inside it. Then pass an M15 x 26mm long Flanged alloy Screw (13) through the
right side of the Seat-stay (18), the adjacent Shield Washers (items 2 & 3, figure
6), and the Bearing in the H Link (16). Using the 6mm Hex Key, Torque tighten
the M15 Flanged alloy Screw (13) to the recommended Torque settings (refer to
the Tightening Torque settings in Section 10.0). Repeat that task to assemble the
left side of the Seat-stay (18) to the H Link (16), also ensuring that the other
Shield Washer in the H Link (16) is not pushed out.
Next, to assemble the Shock Extender (7) and the H Link (16), reference figure 4
(Main Frame 15 not shown for clarity), first check that the Shield Washers are in
place in the Link (see items 2 & 3 in figure 6) and apply either SKF LGAF 3E or
Castrol Optimol T anti-fret paste to the contacting faces between the Shield Wash-
ers and Shock Extender (7). Then ensure that the Shield Washers in the Link (16)
are not pushed out, as you place the Shock Extender (7) inside them. Then pass
an M15 x 25mm long Flanged alloy Screw (17) through the H Link (16), the Bear-
ing in Link (See item 1, figure 6), the adjacent Shield Washer & into the thread of
one arm of the Shock Extender (7). Using a 6mm Hex Key, Torque tighten the
M15 Flanged alloy Screw (17) to the recommended Torque settings (refer to the
Tightening Torque settings in Section 10.0). Repeat that task to assemble the other
arm of the Shock Extender (7) to the H Link (16), also ensuring that the other
Shield Washer in the H Link (16) is not pushed out.
Next, to assemble the Link (16) to the Main Frame seat tube (15), reference fig-
ures 3 & 4, check that the Shield Washers are in place on the inside of the bearings
that are installed in front of the Link (16), reference figure 6, item (2) and apply
either SKF LGAF 3E or Castrol Optimol T anti-fret paste to the contacting faces be-
tween those shield washers and the Link mounting on the Main frame seat tube
(15). Insert the Link (16) between the Main Frame Seat tube (15). Then pass one
M15 x 26mm long Flanged alloy Screw (8 & 9) through the Link (16), the Bearing
in Link (1, figure 6), the adjacent Shield Washer & into the threaded Main Frame
(15). Screw in, from the left side of the H Link (16), the other M15 x 26mm long
Flanged alloy Screw (8) . Using a 6mm Hex Key, Torque tighten the M15 Flanged
alloy Screws (8 & 9) to the recommended Torque settings (refer to the Tightening
Torque settings in Section 10.0). Wipe off any excess grease from around the Main
Frame (15) and the H Link (16).
Finally to assemble the Chainstays (14) to the Seat-Stays (18), reference figure
18, check that the Shield Washers are in place on both sides of each Seat-stay leg
(18) (see items 2 & 3 in figure 6) and apply either SKF LGAF 3E or Castrol Optimol
