REMOVAL OF BIKE WHEEL ASSEMBLY (FIG. 3-3)
IMPORTANT NOTE: before removing rear wheel assembly from the cycle, check
wheel-bearing condition. There are two steps in this procedure.
1. With the cycle supported off the ground, rotate the wheel listening for any
'rough' noise.
2. Check the endplay with a dial indicator; it should NOT be more than 0.002
inches. If any noise is heard or endplay is over 0.002 inches, bearings MUST be
replaced. Replace as a set.
3. Sealed wheel bearing removal requires a special tool and should be changed by
an authorized Boss Hoss service center.
WARNING
After proper tightening of axle, wheel-bearing endplay should be less than 0.002
inches. Improper performance of this installation may result in personal injury.
1. Begin by placing a jack stand (approximately 10" high) directly below the lower
engine mount, under the right side frame tube while the cycle is on the kickstand.
2. Place a floor jack under the frame just behind the lower engine mount. Lift cycle
by raising the jack. Place another jack stand (approximately 10" high) under the
left side frame tube, directly below the lower engine mount.
