Guest Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Does the bike have a full stand? I am assuming it does .... well I hope so, cos you will struggle else ...Make sure you have the correct tools before you start, take your time, make a note of where things go etc and I am sure you will be fine. If in any doubt, or not too confident, it would help if you had someone there who has done it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Pretty easy just remember where everything goes back and what order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Well I didn't do it in the end, I was trying to follow the Haynes manual but it wasn't too clear - so got a friend to pop by and he took it off in minutes (and didn't do half of what they said in the manual ). Just got to remember how to put it back now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder2889 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Well I didn't do it in the end, I was trying to follow the Haynes manual but it wasn't too clear - so got a friend to pop by and he took it off in minutes (and didn't do half of what they said in the manual ). Just got to remember how to put it back now I am about to do this... well im not, good old bullet is going to be doing most of it.But yes I have read the haynes manual instructions on removing wheels and it seems very complicated. There must be easier ways than that and judging by what you said about your friend, there is an easier way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mealexme Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 it doesn't really need a manual. just common sense. That's how i took mine off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet5 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 A tip for the future would be to use a pencil or a bit of chalk to make a mark on the rear brake spindle (it's a drum brake). The picture should show what I mean.http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/2111/140ty.jpgPut the mark across where the silver arm sits on the gold spindle. This means when you put the wheel back on, you know where it was previously set, so your back brake isn't too loose or too tight, saving time and effort. (Should still be checked before going back on the road).All the best,Bullet5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin the Bear Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Take pics with your phone as you disassemble. To remind you where things go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
