EDIT - 2005 if that matters
Hi all,
Last week, I replaced the rear rotor.
1. Torqued the bolts to spec w/blue Loctite. All torqued in a star pattern.
2. Changed the pads.
3. Bled the caliper.
4. Spacer with flange on the left, without flange on the right.
5. Installed the wheel and chain
No spare parts.
Here's where it wasn't as smooth -
The wheel spun easily with the lug not yet torqued but "snug". Once I got close to torque spec, the wheel got harder to spin. Dis-assembled and re-assembled - wheel spun more freely but not like before.
About 4 re-assemblies later making sure all was installed correctly to eliminate each possible cause.
Pads touching rotor - clear.
Chain slack - clear.
All spacers correct - clear
On the last assembly, I got close to torque on the lug and heard a loud "snap." Nothing hit the garage floor or walls so safe to say, it had to be internal (I think bearings went)
Ordered the service manual after scouring the web for images that might tell me if I'm missing a spacer or washer, etc. - no good images found.
Can someone PLEASE post some good, close-up pics of a stock rear wheel installed on a Gen 1. I am looking for both sides to see what I missed or if something fell off while riding. I have almost 100k on it and already have the bearing for replacement. I just want to see if there are any other missing parts? I would appreciate any help from experience like this you can share.
Thanks in advance all!
