Girling rear wheel cylinder dust cover fitting


Recommended Posts

Yeah I know,

it is not possible to fit the spring plate after (first) the leaver, so I never told this.

My main concerns are:

- what way around to put the spring plate and the loching washer

- and NEVER punch the distance washer in or out!!

Hi Michael,

after reading your and my post serveral times I think we both describe the same.

Yes, you describe and I understand: you fit the locking washer with a little punch in its final position.

This may be needed and I have absolutely made no critic about doing that.

But one of my 2 main concerns, independent from your advice, is about the distance washer,

the little tiny u-piece with the ends bended up: never punch THIS in or out like Buckeye describes it.

This caused my much pain the first time I did that (and then never again)

You and me, we are shure still friends?

Ciao, Marco

Stick two small screw drivers between and with this you have two "ramps" to slide the locking plate over the tooth

Take a pliers and pull the lock plate out

Here a small drill and a hook would be helpful

 

I thinks they may be heat treated. so drilling might not be an option ill try and see if i get a carbide through one or check one with my hardness files

Merci à Marco pour ce tuto qui m'a bien aidé pour le sens de montage des différentes pièces .
Çà à l'air facile sur un moyeu posé sur l'établi ................ c'est une autre paire de manches quand on le fait sur l'auto !
Bonne route

Wayne has kindly uploaded the series of photos and explanations onto the website under Resources / Technical Manuals https://www.tr-register.co.uk/past-issue/2020/02/0116/Girling-rear-wheel-brake-cylinder-dust-cover-fitting-guide so that all members can easily find this excellent work by Marco. It would also make an excellent article for TR Action.

Hi all, 

can it be that the lever Springs out of the cylinder when I will press the brake. The 2 Small nippels Right and left of the lever doesnt hold.

Can it be that the Spring Plates and the rubber seal are not correct?

If you read from the start of this thread it will tell you the correct way to fit them so they hold together.

Stuart.
