DISASSEMBLY
1. See Figure 2-10. Move wheel to bench area. On the
brake rotor side of the wheel, remove bearing using
BUSHING AND BEARING PULLER (Part No. HD-
95760-69A) and 1 1/8 in. COLLET (Part No. HD-95769-
69).
2. See Figure 2-9. Remove two bearings (10) from sprocket
side of wheel.
3. Remove four screws (1) (metric) to detach rear brake
rotor (2) from wheel hub. On vehicles with P/M wheels,
remove nut from each screw.
4. Remove five bolts (17) and washers (16) to detach belt
sprocket (15) from wheel hub.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

11 1
WARNING
Never use compressed air to "spin-dry" bearings. Very
high bearing speeds can damage unlubricated bearings.
Spinning bearings with compressed air can also cause a
bearing to fly apart, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
1. Thoroughly clean all parts in solvent.
2. Inspect all parts for damage or excessive wear.
11 1
WARNING
Always replace brake pads in complete sets for correct
brake operation. Never replace just one brake pad. Fail-
ure to install brake pads as a set could result in death or
serious injury.
3. Inspect brake rotor. See
ROTORS.
ASSEMBLY
11 1
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid, bearing grease, lubricants, etc.
to contact brake rotor or reduced braking ability will
occur, which could result in death or serious injury.
1. See Figure 2-9. Install rear brake rotor (2) on side of
wheel hub with room for a single wheel bearing. Place
rotor surface listing minimum thickness specification
away from wheel hub.
a. Verify that rear brake rotor is thoroughly clean.
b. Apply LOCTITE THREADLOCKER 272 (red) to
each of the four screws (1) (metric).
c. Fasten rotor to wheel hub using screws. Tighten to
35-40 ft-lbs (48-54 Nm). NOTE: PM Wheel option
uses a nut.
NOTE
P/M wheels use a nut (not shown) with each screw (1).

2. Install belt sprocket (15) on side of wheel hub with room
for two wheel bearings. Place sprocket machined surface
away from wheel hub.
a. Check sprocket for unusual wear, broken teeth or a
damaged flange. Replace if necessary.
b. Apply LOCTITE THREADLOCKER 272 (red) to
each of the five sprocket bolts (17).
c. Install belt sprocket (15) using bolts (17) and wash-
ers (16). Tighten to 55-65 ft-lbs (75-88 Nm).
3. Install bearings (5, 10) and spacer (6) into wheel hub.
a. On the belt sprocket side of the wheel, install two
bearings (10). Insert bearings separately, pressing
on outer race only. Fully seated bearings will touch
shoulder for spacer sleeve.
b. Insert spacer sleeve (6) into wheel hub.
c. On the brake rotor side of the wheel, insert bearing
(5) into wheel hub until it contacts end of spacer
sleeve. Press on outer race only.
4. Verify that wheel is true. See
RUNOUT.
5. Install tire if removed. Under all circumstances, check
that wheel and tire are true. See
