Alright, back at it today. I had to pause for work but going to do my best to finish it all today before I go back in, got about 3 hours! Right now I have everything off (though I had to half put the wheel and rear sprocket on to move the bike to a new location on street--hopefully it's okay I moved it in that state--without front sprocket and with axle mostly in haha.)
thanks for the rear sprocket nut torque specs, Jim. To bend the sides up on the new lock tabs (for both front and rear sprocket bolts) I imagine I'll just use pliers or some other weird situation I figure out.
A few questions that came up as I was working:
What parts am I greasing or oiling as I put them back on? Obviously I'll lube the chain before putting it back on. I imagine I should grease the whole axle rod (long rod) I pulled out and also the castle axle nut setup? Anything for the front sprocket or on rear sprocket? Maybe oil the rear sprocket bolts with 10/30 oil? For grease, I was going to use the red grease pictured below for everything unless you guys tell me otherwise.
I don't have any solvents on me to clean at the moment, so just been wiping things off the best I can with a dry towel/rag.
I've never taken the rear wheel totally off before, so I want to be sure I'm doing this right. To get the wheel off, I had to disconnect the rear brake rod and then also a rod that connected by the swingarm. Do these have a specific spec I need to tighten them back to?
Also, when I disconnected those parts and took the rear wheel off, what I believe is the rear brake drum situation, just flopped right off (pictured below). It seems to make sense seeing as I took away what was holding it on, but I just want to make sure that's supposed to happen. Any particular way I need to put that back on or as long as the brake rod and other arm that goes to swingarm line up with it?
And getting the rear wheel back on straight...I assume it's a matter of it getting straightened out by axle nut torque being correct and then having chain tension adjusters (axle adjusters?) same on both sides..?
Lastly, the spacer (I think that's what it is) that's on the axle rod came off and fell. (I try to note the direction everything is in and keep it that way so I don't mess it up). It may be obvious when I go back out there, but is there a direction that needs to be facing? Grease this sucker at all?
As for torque specs, what I have in my notes here is: 80-100 ft/lbs for the front sprocket nut. Rear axle: get it to 87 and then get it as close as I can to 132ft/lbs while still having castle setup line up to cotter pin.
