63-70 Tr6 Basic Repairs

Ace. Hope mine has that.

 

Chain off! Brake torque and actuator arm off. Axle nuts off. But chainguard is stopping the wheel coming out. Is the axle supposed to come out to allow wheel to slide DOWN rather than OUT? Or it’s part of the wheel?

Sorry lads, basic questions I know but I’ll post lots of pics of all the nice repairs I’ve made!

 

Jesus it can’t be as hard as I made it to get the wheel off? The fear fender / reg plate makes it almost impossible. I had to lift / tilt the bike with one hand and wriggle it out with the other but not sure if I did it right…

 

Now trying to get the rear fender off. Removed all the bolts but it’s not budging. All the bolts are rotten. Can’t bear those back on so back to the parts book.

Some of the bolts are metric, which was fun. Lazy mechanics in the past no doubt.

Any ideas on where to get old school looking Imperial / Whitfield fasteners from a one stop shop online type of joint

 

Any steers on the fender…

 

Meant how to get it off lol

 

State of play as of tonight.




What started as a little trouble shooting has resulted in new Amal carb fitted, new battery box and wiring, new Hagon shocks and new throttle. Had to take the rear wheel off to get the shocks off as their bushes were seized in. The shocks themselves do not move at all. New Hagons on the left.




Fresh engine and gear oil once it’s all back together and a new battery and off we go.

 

Hi all.

Rather than the pain of trawling the parts catalogue for various individual crush washers, would something like this cover me for a full oil / gear oil change?

 

Hello all.

Need to call on your knowledge again. Having a bit of aggro getting the rear fender to sit correctly, after removing it to release seized in rear shocks. My main issue is the bracket that runs along the top for some reason now sits way too high and cannot be fastened to the fender. Yet the fender is placed as high as it will go.


My other question is, are that bracket and the rear license plate support in the correct order here? Should the bracket be closest to the fender or closest to the frame?




Thoughts?

 

Thanks pal. It’s helped a bit but it’s still sitting too far from the fender. The rear of the fender is the issue it hits the rear frame loop and so can’t rise further to meet the strap.

Bizarre, as obviously it was fine when I took out apart.
