evo boy Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I've just bought a pair of brake springs for my sherpa that help the arms return but cant seem to see how they go? There's a longer one is that for the front or the back? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which hub is a 1978 325 if that helps Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullylover Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hi Evo Boy. The longer one goes on the rear brake arm and the tight bend goes over the brake lever and the shallow bend goes over the brake backing plate where the axle goes through. The front one is the same.

twinnshock Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 When fitting these please be aware that the end that goes over the brake plate is in affect loose. I have seen these in affect hooked round the the axle bolt and then clamped up tight. This is wrong and will damage the brake plate. I always unclip the arm end when fitting the wheels. Clamp up the axle bolt. then re-clip the arm end. The other end then rotates against the brake plate but this is not clamped in any way.
