Have tried search facility but just keep getting "nothing found" |
At that age/milage you shouldn't have any real problems.
Just make sure you put some copper grease on the axle before putting it back in.
You will need to check belt tension and wheel alignment once you put it all back together. You can make a wheel alignment tool out of an old coathanger and a rubber bung, it's probably best to buy a belt tension tool there only about £15. If you need to do it before you get the tool, just check the tension before you get the wheel out and try and get it back to the same sort of feel.
Oh and get a manual if you don't already have one.
