Re: Rear drum camshaft
Thanx all!
I'll give it a try. Must do better marking. Would finger nail polish work?

Re: Rear drum camshaft
Boy, you'd think there'd be a reference. I've done it by trial and error. Wheel back on and put the lever where it feels natural. Then operate the lever by hand and see if the brake shoes make contact just before the lever would be at 90 deg to the rod. The goal here is to have the lever at 90 deg ...

Rear drum camshaft
1984 R100 So I've replaced the O rings on the rear brake cam. I've greased and reinserted the cam.

Re: Front wheel bearings
I do have a tool like this, I've never used it. But I do have two new seals for the front wheel. Thinking I might as well clean and replace.

Re: Front wheel bearings
There are some confusing cautions in my book, telling me not to remove the bearings unless I am replacing them. Once the retaining nut, the seal and the tophat spacer are removed, the tapered bearing should fall out. The outer bearing ring will remain in the wheel. There is no reason to remove it u...
