Caution
!
If your bike has a disc front brake, exercise care in touching it. Discs have sharp edges and can get very
hot during use.
(1) If your bike has rim brakes, disengage the brake's quick-release mechanism to increase the clearance between the
tire and the brake pads (See Section 4.C fig. 11 through 15).
(2) Move the wheel's quick-release lever from the locked or CLOSED position to the OPEN position (figs. 7a & b).
(3) If your front fork does not have a secondary retention device go to step (5).
(4) If your front fork has a clip-on type secondary retention device, disengage it and go to step (5). If your front fork has
an integral secondary retention device, loosen the tension adjusting nut enough to allow removing the wheel; then go
to the next step.
(5) Raise the front wheel a few inches off the ground and tap the top of the wheel with the palm of your hand to release
the wheel from the front fork.

Caution
!
If your bike is equipped with disk brakes, be careful not to damage the disk, caliper or brake pads when re-
inserting the disk into the caliper. Never activate a disk brake's control lever unless the disk is correctly inserted
in the caliper. See also Section 4.C.
