How to remove rear wheel from Mastiff

[Mark M]

One of my pulley bolts is loose, and I'm trying to remove the rear wheel. How does the axle come out? (I see the "end" but do not know how to "pull" tis out..or drive out from the other side?

Thanks, Mark

Your going to catch all kinds of grief for not introducing yourself first in the proper thread.

Mark, first you need to pull the two plugs out of the adjusters then loosen the adjusters to give slack.
Remove the axle plates and remove the two bolts (Axle has a bolt on each end) then push it out either way. Keep all the parts together paying particular attention to the spacers on the brake side. I like to put then back on the axle in the proper order for safe keeping.
Be careful removing the wheel and don't let the brake caliper mar it up.

Contact Nelson (WB Cycles) who is one of our sponsors and order a service manual. It will have the procedure for you along with torque values.

Welcome to the website and we'll be waiting for that intro!

On the 2007 Bulldog the nut is only on the brake rotor side. The axle head on the other side is oblong to fit in the slot so the axle has to come out on the belt pulley side.

i don't know if you should do this or not but I never loosen my adjusters when I take my back wheel off - once the large axle is head is out of the way there is plenty of room.
