Tight front wheel
Tight front wheel
Just moved back to PA from FL and having issues with 1973 R75/5 had since 2000.
Lubed brakes front end and when tighten spindle nut to over 20ftlb wheel won’t spin.
Was thinking need shims in bearing stack.
I am lost on bearing pre-load
I was thinking of taking it to a shop and have a pro rebuild.
Would like to hear what you folks think my issue is.
Thanks
John

Re: Tight front wheel
To be honest, I have not taken the stack apart and properly greased, I just shot grease in with the special grease gun fitting that inserts into wheel.
Tomorrow I will do a proper job and see what I find.
