2. REMOVING THE BOLT-ON FRONT WHEEL
A. Open the front brake:The brake pads of the V-style brakes can
be quickly opened so the pads can clear the tire when the wheel
is removed or installed. To open the front brake pads, squeeze
the caliper arms together (Figure 8-E), and remove the cable
guide from the bracket on the left caliper arm.
B. With a 15-mm box wrench or a six inch adjustable wrench,
loosen the two axle nuts.
C. Disengage the retention washers.
D. Raise the front wheel a few inches off the ground and tap
the top of the wheel with the palm of your hand to knock the
wheel out of the fork ends.
3. INSTALLING THE BOLT-ON FRONT WHEEL
A. With the steering fork facing forward, insert the wheel between
the fork blades so that the wheel axle seats firmly at the top
of the slots. Install the axle retention washer, then hand-tighten
the axle nuts. Assemble both sides in this method.
(See Figure 8-D)
B. While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the fork dropouts, and at the same time centering
the wheel rim in the fork, use a 15 mm box wrench or six inch adjustable wrench to tighten the axle nuts securely.
See Torque Specifications, Section 11, "Specifications."
C. Once the wheel is reinstalled, close the brake pads by performing the following:
1. Squeeze the caliper arms together (Figure 8-E).
2. Connect the cable guide to the bracket on the left caliper arm (Figure 8-E).
