| Old broken brake shoe plate Yamaha LS3 |
I could try to repair ir but I found a nice cheap NOS one on Ebay.
All the parts inside the old brake shoe plate were still in good nick, so all I had to do was take it out and fit it into the new NOS brake plate.

After removing the brake shoes and brake camshaft I took a nice round spanner and carefully pried out the seal.

Almost, there is one thing you need a special tool for and that's the speedo gear. It's screwed deep inside the brake plate and you cannot remove it with a screwdriver or "normal"socket.

As I didn't have the "special" Yamaha tool I made one myself. A 32/17 socket fits perfectly in the opening, so I took one from an elcheapo set I had lying around, took some measurements, put it in the vice and shaped it so it would fit in the gear's bushing.

With the new rim and spokes the shaft and metal dust cover looked really dull and tired so cleaned them and gave 'm a new shiny coat of nickel.

Hello
ReplyDeleteI am restoring a LS2 and are rebuilding the front wheel. I shall replace the meter gear and drive and the bush. I realy worked hard to get out the old bush after making myself the special tool needed.
But the new gear and drive just seem to be to tight. I have realy trouble to get it to fit togheter. It looks like it is a mm to wide or something. All new parts are genuine Yamaha LS2. Do you have som tips for getting it togheter?
Best regards

Hi Mate, sorry for the late response. I'm not really sure what's going wrong. Was the old gear worn out? If it's all original it should fit,maybe your front wheel is of another model? Let me know if you've already fixed it or not. Cheers
ReplyDeleteHard to say. I bought yet another gear on ebay. Not genuine part that actually fit. I also actually bought a new orginal hub plate, but the original gear part did not fit in that one either. Very strange.
ReplyDeleteActually I can use the not original gear against the new genuine drive...
