1984 peugeot rear derailler positioning

[Rebuild1961]

Befor and after positions.Second pic is after reassembly and obviously I did something wrong since the unit is not horizontal. Any help on this. Thanks. Also I don't get what the poll casting section is,so I just added the letter R to get on with my posting

looks like the tension spring has slipped so try moving it up to the other notch

Tks. I've tried using both notches and can't get to position it as shown in the first pic before I took it apart. Right now I'm gonna just continue finishing the rest of the bike so I can get this problem out of the process for now. I'm sure this can be corrected. Its just bugging the. check outta me that this happened. Tks for the reply.

you have to turn the spring all the way around not just down to the notch

Yep, it looks to me like there's a 360 degree turn of the spring been lost in reassembly.

Next task is crank removal. Bearing decrease and total cleaning of entire unit. I guess its good to do since the bike has some age to it. Its winter time here and I relocated from my garage to my basement. So this is now my spot to work till spring time. I just need to get the right thin body sprocket to access the nuts that secure the crank assembly

Wow, tks for that info. This is a great site, first day on it, so I'm gonna add another pic of a bike I picked up at a garage sale, older Kia Competition model, very dangerous bike to ride, looks like tubing is pressed in placed at the seams but it is all original and it is pretty much a wall hanger. I paid very little for this bit its all there and restored and its gonna hang on the wall where it belongs. View attachment 389898 View attachment 389898 View attachment 389898

I see different metric sizes on eBay. 14mm, 15mm. What size would be for the Peugeot?

Hello and welcome. I would suggest you measure it but i have seen american tape measures and they don't have mms, importing one that does have them and then buying the right one might be more expensive then just buying both.

If you go into edit and then further options you should be able to delete the one's you want to

Looks a nice tidy original bike for sure

my guess would be 14 mm but best to measure first
