I am planning to attempt replacing my rotors and am unsure if there are any critical details i may be leaving out, i will explain my plan of attack and would liek to know if it is suitable.1. elevate front wheel2. remove caliper3. remove axle nut and clip4. slide out axle and remove front wheel5. unbolt old rotor, and replace with new (is there a procedure to center the new rotor on the bolts?)6. Replace wheel with new rotor into forks and reinsert axle7. Tighten axle nut **snugly and insert pin8. replace pads, compress piston, and reatatch caliper9. done?Are there any special tools i will need other than wrenches for screws and bolts and to compress the caliper? Anything im missing? What shoudl i torque the bolts that hold the rotor to the wheel to? Are they backwards threaded as many screws on rotating assemblies often are?
ck, spec's on rotor, they can be turned just like car rotors, could save a few bucks, (quite a few)
no, chevy converted in the late 60'syou have an ohv engine, not a flathead, louis chevrolet would have shot william durrant if he ever tried to produce a flathead with chevys name attached to it
any fuel you want but e85 best way to knwo what fuel gets you the best mileage is by filling it up at place you alway stop at set mileage or write it down drive til one need to refill and buy next lower type octane wil tel you which one to use at that place then you stop at place you sometimes stop at and do same thing knowing which fuel that you get the best mileage with is right type to use start with highest octane and dont retard motor set it like it should be set then do the test
Everything sounds good except, as long as your replacing the rotor you may as well put new pads on also, as the old pads were worn to your old rotor. Find the torque specifications for your model bike and torque it to that. I also recommend putting some loctite on to prevent the bolts from coming loose
