Almost a success guys.
Unfastened the Caliper and laid that down out the way
Removed the axle and loosened the chain adjusters (sorry Dudeness - didnt read your email)
managed to get the wheel back on. Spacers included '). along with the chain
Caliper on and all bolts tightened (along with copper grease)
put on the clip for the brake hose. Stuck on the rear hugger
was fekcing chuffed with meself (mechanically virgin more or less)
However, decided to double check the brakes. spun the wheel (freehand) and applied the back brake. GREAT - rear wheel stopped dead.
BUT......seemed to be a scraping noise as if releasing the brake pedal doesnt quite release the pads.
gonna call in re-inforcements - just to make sure.
