III. Installation

Please note that the installation of the heavy duty rear hinge kit works similar to the „crackling noise kit“ – but not completely equal!

  1. Remove the old parts (key size 13 mm)

  2. Clean (Alcohol swab) – be aware of Aluminium chips

  3. Grind away all protruding burrs (Grinding tool) while avoiding further damage of the frame surface.

  4. Clean again.

  5. Place the car body washer, the stamped letters in touch with the frame tube. Please note; do NOT apply grease or oil between them!

  6. Apply Never Seez (brown capsule) at the outside of the car body washer as shown below. Please note; Never Seez MAY irritate your skin, that was the reason to recommend gloves.

  7. Place the cup spring on the car washer (all black side=outside) and apply a tiny amount of Never Seez at its inner edge and also on the recessed washer.


  1. Slide the stainless washer over the bolt’s thread and apply a small drop of Loctite 243 (blue capsule). Please note; this glue has to cure some time – do NOT fold or ride the bike for a few hours.

  2. After tightening the bolt to 18 – 20 Nm; you can (if you like to) attach a marking over all parts to check the flawless function.
