Wheel Removal - Rear Wheel
Begin by removing the axle lock-nut with a 17mm
wrench or socket. Gently tap the axle through the
wheel. This will allow the rear wheel assembly and the
rear drive sprocket to be freed from the frame. (Fig. 7)
To disassemble the wheel, begin by removing the
outer pulley cover, which is attached with four phillips
screws. Next, remove the four bolts (either large
phillips head screws, or allen head bolts). CAUTION:
BE SURE TO DEFLATE THE TIRE PRIOR TO
ATTEMPTING TO DISASSEMBLE THE TWO
WHEEL HALVES. The hardware securing the two
wheel halves will require a 13mm socket and a 6mm
hex wrench.
With the wheel disassembled (Fig. 8), it is advisable
to check the integrity of the two ball bearings that ride
within the hub of the wheel. If they feel worn or do not
turn freely, replace them.
Upon re-assembly, ensure that the three axle spacers
are properly positioned.
For belt adjustment procedures, see page 11.
