Check again, they all have the big spanner nut for bearing adjustment.
Thanks for the response old magnet. I did go back and check again, i dont see this in the book at all, im wondering if im missing some pages? page numbers dont skip. This is a pic of what i have. [attachment=25612]955k sprocketpic.jpg[/attachment]
If what im looking at is correct, could you give me a quick walkthrough of the adjustment? Thanks
The procedure is about the same for all of them.
Before adjusting it is recommended (but not required) to back off and re-torque the axle retaining nut.(your "locknut" in the picture) Spec should be about 300-400 ft-lbs
To adjust remove the adjusting nut lock (not shown in your picture)and loosen the clamping bolt (your "lock" in the picture).
Tighten the adjusting nut (your "spanner" in the picture) in a counterclockwise direction as tight as possible with a 5 ft. extension on the spanner wrench.
Tighten the clamping bolt/nut and install the lock.
