    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rear Wheel Assembly - Slack - '78 750

I'm doing a 530 chain conversion, new sprockets and wheel bearings, all parts from Z1.

I put the rear wheel back on and I've got a too much room/play, even if I tighten the axle nut all the way past the threads, I've still got too much space. It's like i'm missing a spacer or I put it back together wrong, I checked the fiche and took 'before' pictures to help me remember, but I guess not good enough.

What am I missing or assemble wrong?

Here's the left and right side of the wheel:

I seated the bearings all the way down, not flush, but even if they were flush, there would still be slack. My #4 is inside the middle of the wheel between both bearings, my #5 is inside the sprocket drum like what the fiche seems to show.

Doh! I stopped when I didn't pass the dry fit test, shoulda went a little further. Thanks for the quick reply.
 
I think your "top hat" spacer on the right of the wheel is on backwards too...
Nope Nevermind.
I wasn't seeing what I thought I was...it looked like it was flipped around the wrong way but its just because the gap where the caliper hanger would be is now at the bearing face...
