4.4. REAR SUSPENSION

- Place the aluminium packing pieces on the chassis, so their elongated ends face towards the back of the vehicle. (These packing pieces are only used under the rear axle, not under the front axle).

 - Lift the rear axle onto the chassis; make sure it aligns with the aluminium packing pieces.

- Fit the long bolts with the tab washers. The bolts should have a strength rating of DIN 10.9
Tighten the bolts with a torque of 45 to 50 Nm (=33-37 lb/ft) and lock them in place by bending the tab washer end over the bolt heads.

- At this point you may attach the brake line to the rear axle T piece, using an 8Nm (=6lb/ft) torque. Do not forget the rubber insert!

- Grease the knife-edges and put them in their proper place. The large ones fit at the rear, the smaller ones at the front. These knife edges should fall into place easily, when not yet loaded. This is the normal procedure. Make sure not to forget the knife-edge spring fixing clips!

The riding height can't be adjusted just jet. When the Burton is completely finished and has its final and full weight, you can set it to the right height.
