Are you fitting a spider or chainring ?? is it an eastern crank ?? I can help  :daumenhoch:  :coolsmiley: Just fitted another one

Okay, once the bearing cups are pressed in and the bearings pressed into the cups as far as they can go, you should have a cone and a flat bearing cover. The cone is for the left side and the flat for the drive side.

Fit the spindle through the bearings and the inner sleeve, and place the flat (drive side) bearing cover on with the indent facing out as this is for the top hat. Take the Top Hat and fit it to the spider from the rear. Slide it onto the spindle. Take the drive side crank arm and fit that to the spindle. Now take the spider retaining bolt and screw the spider to the drive side crank arm and fully tighten. Fit the crank retaing bolt and tighten.

On the non drive side, fit the cone bearing cap over the spindle. Take the 2 fattest spacers you have and place those on the spindle and fit the crank arm. You should aim to get the same clearence on both crank arms from the chain stays. Mix and match the spacers to obtain the same gap on both sides. Once you have done this, tighten the crank arm with crank retaining bolt. (when tightening these do not over tighten as the crank will be stiff to spin, tighten until your happy with a smooth spin)





Fit chainring when your happy  :daumenhoch: Hope this helps and sorry for shite pics  :coolsmiley:

Gatters:
Excellent guide, I'm sure this will be read a few times  :daumenhoch:

Going by this I just need to check my clearence on each chain stay as have not done this, other than that I seemed to have got it right!

Cheers again  :daumenhoch:
