Can someone do a How To on installing rear tire

[Rick]

If anyone has time could you possibly do a How To on removing ad reinstalling rear tire. I would like to remove mine for polishing but I understand reinstalling adn alignment is a bitch. Any help would be appreciated.

I would be *very* interested in seeing this type of how to as well :up:

Gas Man will have one......when he starts his Phoenix project......:up:

Gas you should document your whole build. I would like to pull my trees off for polish as well but a little intimidated by the controls, neck berings etc.

I'd like that too for getting my wheels off for powder coating

I will do all I can to make how to's for anything and everything I do this winter...

It's not hard. Take a measurement from the center of the axle to the center of the bolt for the swing arm. Both sides should be the same. When you install the tire back on, adjust the adjuster bolts to get the tire back to the same distance. If the belt is tight when you do that, tighten everything up, double check it all, and take it out for a test ride.

If the belt is a bit slack, just adjust it until it's tight and make sure the distance between the swing arm bolts (pivot point) and the axle is the same for both sides.

i dont mess with the adjusters. i just pull the wheel back while removing the axle. be sure to keep track of where the spacers go.


never seemed to need a camera to remove a wheel.

Not concerned with removing a bolt and taking a wheel off. Only concerned with reinstalling and lining up everything so the belt doesnt rub or bind. Not everyone is a mechanic on this site . Gas's pic's and details give some of us a little more confidence when working on our bikes. That clear up your confusion?
