I needed to have the rim on my D-14 repaired in addition to replacing the tire. Without thinking about the challenge of how everything was going to go back together, I placed the wheel on the ground, removed all the bolts holding the center and used a sledge to knock everything apart. The four cam bolts look to be pretty frozen. On two of the cam bolts, a small rectangular spacer fell out. Are the cam bolts threaded? Do I need to get these bolts out before I try to put the center of the rim back inside the outer rim or is there another way? Can someone give me a general idea of how the cam bolts work to hold the center rim against the rails if they are loosen up?

I just had the same fun with my d-14 rims.What they said is correct.Best thing is to remove ring and knock out the bolt if its froze up bad(like mine were).The spacers you had fall out set on top of the bolt and press against the rail. You should have one in each of your four lockouts.After freeing,cleaning,and lubricating mine they work as good as the day they were made. Good luck!!

You will want to free up the cam bolts so they turn easily.I would start by soaking them with penetraiting oil, if that doesn't work you can heat the casting to break it free. If you want to really do it right: remove the retaining ring on the cam bolt and press it out. Once the cam bolt is out you can clean the rust off of the bolt and the bore. Then a good coat of anti-seize compound on the mating surfaces will insure years of trouble free service. After re-assembling the cam locks to the rim, you will need a breaker bar to tighten the cam bolts all the way down(clockwise). If you tighten them down all the way the cam goes just past it's high point on the lobe,thus locking it in place. Good Luck!

I just freed the adjusters on a CA and I can say it was a waste of time, penetrating oil, and acetylene trying to just free them without dissassembling them. Just take out all of the bolts and knock the wheel apart with a sledge. Once apart take off the retaining ring on the cam bolt and push them out. Being off the wheel it will be obvious that it doesn't take much for them to stick. I sandblasted mine, used antiseize on them, and have not needed to use a 2 foot breaker bar to fully lock them. Hope this helps. Brian
