Inside the hub should be a spacer adjusted by a nut with vernier pin, washer with corrosponding holes & a lock nut.

And just to add. The lock nut is left hand thread. Learnt from experience

Re: Rear Wheel Adjusting

And there is very little space so you need either the original BSA tool or a tube spannar to tighten / loosen them.
Sorry about the LH thread I should have mentioned it, having just installed new rear bearings myself.

Re: Rear Wheel Adjusting

There is also a hardened thrust washer that fits over the bearing carrier sleeve...If that's missing the wheel will lock up when the nuts are tightened.....

It's best to get the manual and parts list if you are unfamiliar with the bike...That way you'll have a chance of sorting it...

I believe Henk has them all on CD for a reasonable cost...Ian

Re: Rear Wheel Adjusting

Hi

Just need to check that the sequence of re-assembly for the half spindle is:

Half spindle nut with peg, followed by the half spindle nut lock washer, followed by the half spindle nut lock.

I can't seem to see clearly on the Maintenance Manual.

Thanks in advance of your help.

Regards

Pat
