The SWR RC38 OLT hubs are easy to maintain. To do it,
proceed as follows:
FRONT HUB
The front hub does not require any particular maintenance.
For any extraordinary maintenance and replacement of bea-
rings, follow these simple steps:
• Remove the contact item (A) (Fig. 1)
• On the same side from which you removed the contact item,
insert a 12mm Allen wrench (M) on the hub pin and, using
a classic 17mm wrench (N), unscrew the contact item (B)
counterclockwise (Fig. 2)
• Remove the axle from the side of the disc brake.
• Once the axle has been removed, you can replace the be-
arings:
• Use a special puller for 17mm holes and remove both bea-
rings (S) from their seat (Fig. 3)
• Once these have been replaced, proceed fitting the new be-
arings:
• Using a special tool, insert both new bearings in their seat,
checking the correct smoothness.
• Insert the hub axel (C) again and tighten the contact item (B)
with the 17mm wrench (N) at the tightening torque of 15Nm.
(Fig. 2)
• If necessary adjust the hub by working on the ring (F) (Pic. 2):
• Unlock the grub screw (I) with a allen wrentch 2mm (L).
• Turn the ring in clock sense to drop the sliding, and in anti-
clock sense to rise the sliding.
• Lock the grup screw (I) (Pic.2).
• Check the sliding of the wheel.
Please check that the hub is correctly tightened and closed,
failure to do so could lead to a serious or fatal accident.
