Replacement of the rear axle hub bolt

On this day I was busy with home tasks so it was difficult to find the time for the repair, but I could manage to find a little time in the late evening.

Regarding the hub bolts of the left rear axle currently repairing, the thread (left handed thread) of one of the hub bolts was damaged in the past. 
I thought I should order it to replace, but I found it while I was checking my stock parts a few days before.  Thinking about it, it might have been ordered when I had ordered many parts a few years ago.  Recently I often forget the parts or tools I purchased in the past…that is bad!


I had little time on this day, so I just prepared for the replacement.  Since the tip of the new bolt was very edgy as it was cut, I refined it with a file.



The other work I did on this day was the replacement of the O rings at the accelerator pump jet plug of the WEBER carburetor. 
I found that the O rings at the accelerator pump jet plug were melted by gasoline.  Probably the quality the O rings included in the WEBER overhaul kit I used before was not good.  Therefore, I replaced the O rings with new ones which had better anti-gasoline durability.


But the size of the new O rings seemed to be little bit too big…
I would replace them with smaller ones in next time.


It was fun for me to do this kind of things while listening to FM radio at night. ☺︎

Tip to repair rubber parts

I disassembled the rear axle before.  There had been no progress on it because I started the repair of the fuel tank during my summer holiday. While painting the fuel tank , I repaired the torn rubber boot of the parking brake wire. I guessed it didn ’ t cost high because it was small rubber part.  But I wanted to try the repair method I read on the magazine article before. This was the condition before the repair.  The rubber was torn apart and separated almost. I used this self-adhesive type butyl tape.  I pasted lots of small pieces of the butyl tape on the back side of the rubber boot.  As time goes by , these tapes would melt and stick together.  After this I applied plenty of adhesive “ Super X Black ” on the rubber boot.  On the magazine of MOTO MAINTENANCE , I read the article that the motorcycle seat was repaired with this method.  So , I wanted to try it. After drying 1 day , it became like this....

Clutch master cylinder overhaul #5

Regarding the clutch master cylinder which I repaired the hole at piston with solder , one of my friend advised me that the solder might not be hard enough.  Therefore , I tried the repair again in another way. Disassembled the clutch master cylinder again. Now I can do it very quickly because I disassembled brake master and clutch master cylinders many times J Heated and removed the solder at the piston hole. I used the soldering iron instead of the burner because I heard giving too much heat on piston should be avoided. In this time , according to the advice from my friend , the repair method is to screw in the thread with strong adhesive into the hole , then grind the thread head to make the piston surface flat.  In order to do it I bought bolts and a grinding stone at the hardware store. Cutting the bolt to adjust the length to fit the hole depth.  Engrave the minus groove at the cut bolt head to make screwing in possible ...
