Side the
Head
on with the
Spark Plug
hole facing up
Use a Torque Wrench to tighten the Nuts
You should have a
Flat Washer
,
Lock Washer
, and
Nut
in that order
Tighten the nuts in an X Pattern
The Torque should be 16 Foot-Pounds
Start with 8 Foot-Pounds then slowly move up to 16 Foot-Pounds always moving an X pattern
Now install the
Spacer Nut
Next install the
Fly Wheel Side Oil Seal
Apply some Grease to the outside and inside of the Seal
Press it in by hand
You can use part of the
Crank Installer
Tool to tap it the rest of the way flush to the way in
Tape the end of the wires coming off the end of the
Stator
.
This will make it easier to feed them through the hole
Feed them up the hole until you can grab them on the other side
Now position the
Stator
using the mark you made during disassembly (we will set the timing later)
Screw the
Stator
in with the three
Securing Screws

into the

The big one goes here
The single one goes here
And the double one goes here
Now install the backing plate
It requires three small screws
Now install the
Brake Shoes
Start with a TINY bit of Grease on the pivot pins
As well as the Axle
NOTE: Brakes and Grease don't get along so use the slightest bit just enough to keep everything moving freely
Put the
Brake Spring
on the
Brake Shoes
Start at the top
Put the Front of the Bottom shoe in and use a Pry bar the leverage the back part in
I will look like this
Next install the
Retaining Clips
Start them with your finger
Then squeeze them on with a pair of pliers

a little bit before you install it
Just make it not shiny
Install the Rear Hub Washer
