remove the cotter pin & loosen then remove the axle nut. pull the axle out.
push the tire forward to lossen the chain to clear the sprocket. i let the rear caliper hang by the rod.

the spacers will fall - don't loose them.


pretty easy.

yeah - i was gonna say - dont forget the chain ! LOL
Hard to pull out the back till thats off

be carefull with the brake, if you just loosen the support arm and let the caliper hang. if it hangs too far it will stress the hose alot and maybe tear it.

i say pull the caliper off and tie off on the frame just to get it outa the way. its a pain to get the rear wheel back on with the caliper on as well. have to line the rotor up with the caliper, while holding the tire straight. it was the hardest part for me lol.

I have in the post tied the caliper to the passanger peg
