I was just thinking there is a good chance you'll have to take all of those bolts out and remove that rear cover to get the hub to turn, unless it was well greased when it was originally assembled it's likely going to be stuck in place from corrosion, it doesn't take much.

your a STAR mate, got the chain on but now the caliper wont sit back into the hole/slot, irll get a few pics andshow ya, also, it looks as if the main part of the caliper thingy has moved, sorta droped or sumin not sure but take a look at the pics and see what you think

 

[damobear]

pics

looks like its moved i think ??
one of them pics is an old one i think as there was still one on my desktop lol

 

[toofarnorth]

try this, if that don't work just keep loosening bolts till it moves to where you want it. remember to keep the weight off the axle.

ive just noticed it is different on the other side, its like i am missing a spacer, i deff havent lost any bits, but this washer/spacer is about the thickness in mm that ive had all the trouble with if you get what i mean, take a look at these pics

 

[damobear]

missing bit i think

what do ya think

 

[damobear]

is it possible that the washer/spacer thing sheard off which is why the chain broke in the first place do you think ?

 

[toofarnorth]

With that bolt loose does the axle slide back and forth in the hub? If it was me I'd find a proper width washer to fill the gap and just bolt it down and see how it works.

 

[damobear]

no it doesnt move, yea was thinking that, only thing is am still sure that the claiper has moved on that side, if you look back thru the pics ur see it has sorta droped, and one nut is almost touching well is resting i think on the part of the caliper that sits on the wheel, it still moves forward fine but havent taken it for a spin yet

 

[damobear]

hi there matey just gonna drive u mad again before i lose the day light here, got sum washers and losened a few bits and bobs and some how got the nut in whoooo only thing is it still really looks to me as if the brake claiper thing has droped and there is a nut sitting/resting on sumin i am sure it wasnt before. Saying this thou the actual brake pad bit itself seams to be total lined up and in the right place (i think ) can u take a quick peck at these new pics and tell me ur thoughts pls mate
Cheers
Damo

 

[damobear]

new pics almost there (i hope)

 

[damobear]

more pics

if you notice here, it doesnt look stright, or at same level, on the left side the side ive been working on with the chain etc it looks more up right, the silver thing i mean by the wheel, (oh u know am sure lol) and on the right hand side it seams to face a little more down, hopefully these pics will give u an idea of what i am trying to say,

 

[freakboy]

oh well works dont it.

 

[damobear]

lmao not sure aint been 4 a burn yet, been half alight each night by time ive finished doing what ever it is ive been doing to the mofo
but will take her out tomoz early, so you dont think the sitution the way it is at present is a prob no ?
okey dokey will give u feed bck 2morrow.....

 

[toofarnorth]

I would try rotating the hub the other way, like turn it in the direction so the chain gets loose and keep turning it till it gets tight again that should make the axle ride higher in the housing like the right side. that would also cause the brake caliper to come back up. you might have to loosen up that black thing that has the wires coming out of it (speed sensor?) to do that.

So is that cart actually street legal? it looks like it has the proper lights to be.

 

[damobear]

ok irll try that, do u think that would poss help with my new problem ? lol bacsially i took her just up the road yesterday to see how the chain felt, and it seams ok i think but i didnt go far as its really pulling to the right hand sie, so much so that it is hard work to keep stright, when the wheel is central (when stantionery) the right hand side wheel looks slightly outta line as in not stright forward, but not so as u would think the way it is pulling ? i wondered if it was sumin to do with the chain maybe ?

 

[damobear]

oh and yea it is all fully road legal, lol thats why i am dying to get out on it b4 we lose the sun for another year lol

 

[freakboy]

If it drives i wouldnt worry about it.

 

[damobear]

oh when u say hub ? is that the silver bit i losened all the bolts on last time ? or the bit on the wheel closest to that black thing with the wires ?

 

[damobear]

what dont worry about the mental pulling to one side ??
