Installing a Coaster Brake Rear Wheel
text/3/20
Loosely   fasten   the   wheel  in
position.  Put the  small nut  and
bolt back  into the brake  arm and
its  holder strap.  Do not tighten
it yet. Note:  there should be one
or   two  washers   on  each  side
between the axle  nut and the bike
frame.
   Check  the chain  tension while
turning the  pedals. Sprockets are
not  perfectly  round  and  so the
chain  tension will  vary as  they
turn.  The  correct  tension  is a
compromise.  If there  is periodic
resistance   as  the   pedals  are
turned, the chain is too tight and
can  damage the  bearings. If  the
chain is too  loose, (1/2" or more

deflection) it may fall off, which
is  unsafe. By  loosening the axle
nuts, one at a  time, you can sort
of walk  the wheel back  and forth
to  get the  proper chain tension.
When you are  satisfied, make sure
the   nuts  are   tight  and  then
tighten the little nut and bolt at
the brake arm.
