During Lockdown decided to change the sidecar wheel with the pusher. Interesting exercise of pulling wheels apart and changing, did this just to even a bit of wear on the tyres.
A point to note if anyone is doing this; the sidecar wheel has a large circlip in the hub against the out bearing. This would need to be removed and put back in place on the wheel going on the sidecar.
Interesting exercise and a bit of learning about the bike. Would I do this again, probably not as it would have been quicker just changing the tyres.
Hmm the things we do in lockdown.
On another note looked at bleeding pusher brake. Wow what a pain. Interested to hear how people do this.

Bleeding easy. Pop two bolts.....sit caliper with nipple at top.....bleed as normal.
Jake, all the hubs on your bike should have a seal, spacer and circlip then bearing......I believe they are all the same and you just need to change the adapter and disc.

Thanks Lee, looks like the circlip is only on Sidecar and no spacer. Front and pusher did not have a circlip. Thinking they may not have been fitted.

You can’t see the circlip because it is behind the seal.....

Thanks Lee, diagram confirms, will need to take my wheels off again and take some photos to send to Ural.
Thanks for the advice Lee. Where did the diagram come from, have not seen this before.

All parts info can be found at this link > HERE < At least your hub assemblies are the same.... older small hubs had 2 circlips and no circlip pliers in the tool roll

Jake,
As Lee said it's just changing the adaptor and disc. I had the same issue when I first changed mine. Was looking at it arse about face and zigging when I should have been zagging. No circlips need taking off. For the bleeding, loosen the top shock screw and wind it out but not off. Push the shock as far toward the chair as the screw will allow without popping the top mount off (a bugger to get back on). This allows the caliper bolt to come out (and to get it back in) to turn caliper to bleed.
Cheers
Deano

No need to touch the shocker to remove caliper slide bolts....

You do on mine. One (can't think off hand which) wont come out or go back in without.
