The left axle clamp locates
the threaded bush in the

be correct and this can cause
the ABS to malfunction or allow
the wheel-speed sensor to be
damaged.
In order to ensure that the
threaded bush remains correctly
aligned, do not slacken or
remove the left axle clamp.
Remove right-hand axle clamp-
ing screw 2.
Remove quick-release axle 3,
while supporting the wheel.
Roll the front wheel forward to
remove.
