Expriment No.1

Aim: Assembly and disassembly of bicycle


For the most part, a lot of these steps can be done interchangeably, but removing the parts in the order in which
they are listed is one sensible way to go about it. For example, the seat can be removed at any time; you may
choose to leave it on to rest the bike on while it is upside-down while you remove the wheels. A bike repair
stand can help hold the bike for many of the steps, but it is not necessary for this project.

Pedals

The pedals are an easy part to remove. Thread: the right crank (chain side) is threaded normally, the left side is
threaded backwards.

1 Using the pedal wrench, unscrew the pedal at the edge of the crank arm.

[Link] sure to hold the pedal up as it gets loose, otherwise it will fall onto the floor.
Left Crank Arm

We will remove the left crank arm first, as the right crank arm is connected to the drivetrain and will be
removed later. Thread: the crank puller screws into the crank with normal threads, on both cranks.

1. Remove the dust cap and crank bolt from where the crank connects to the bottom bracket. This usually
requires an allen wrench, but may vary depending on your crank brand and type.

Once this is removed, there will be exposed threads inside the crank arm, with the bottom bracket spindle visible
inside.

2 .2 Unscrew the crank puller slightly, until the "pusher" part of the crank puller is recessed within the
threaded part of the tool.
Screw the tool into the crank arm, gently at first. Make sure to screw this tool all the way in, as a great deal
of pressure will be exerted on the threads when the cranks are removed.

Wind the tool's handle clockwise, screwing the "pusher" part of the tool back into the bolt that is now
threaded into the crank. With some force, the crank will be pulled off of the bottom bracket spindle
Wheels

1. 1

Remove the wheels by loosening the bolts attaching their hub bolts to the frame and fork (rear
and front) brackets.

They should come right out of the brackets once loose.


Chain

With the rear wheel removed, the chain will hang loose on the chainring and frame.

1
Using the chain breaker tool, pick a link and clip it into the tool. This is done by placing the chain link
between the teeth of the chain breaker in such a way that it sits snugly.
