REMOVING AND INSTALLING BOLT-ON WHEELS
A. Removing a Bolt-On Front Wheel
1. Open up the brake shoes.
2. With a 15 mm box wrench or a six inch adjustable wrench, loosen the two axle nuts.
3. If your front fork has a clip-on type secondary retention device, disengage it and go to step 4. If your front
fork has an integral secondary retention device, loosen the axle nuts about six full turns; then go to step 4.
4. 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.
B. Installing a Bolt-On Front Wheel
1. With the steering fork facing forward, insert the wheel between the fork blades so that the axle sits firmly
at the top of the slots which are at the tips of the fork blades. The axle nut washers should be on the
outside, between the fork blade and the axle nut. If your bike has a clip-on type secondary retention
device, engage it.
2. 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 six inch adjustable wrench or a 15 mm box wrench to tighten the axle nuts
securely.
3. Close the brake shoes; then spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the frame and clears the
brake shoes.
C Removing a Bolt-On Rear Wheel
.
1. Open the rear brake shoes.
2. Shift the rear derailleur to high gear (the smallest rear sprocket) and pull the derailleur body back with your
right hand.
3. With a 15 mm box wrench or a six inch adjustable wrench, loosen the two axle nuts.
4. Lift the rear wheel off the ground a few inches, and with the derailleur still pulled back, push the wheel
forward and down until it comes out of the rear dropouts.
D. Installing a Bolt-On Rear Wheel
1. Shift the rear derailleur to its outermost position and pull the derailleur body back with your right hand.
2. Put the chain onto the smallest sprocket. Then, insert the wheel into the frame dropouts and pull it all the way
into the dropouts. The axle nut washers should not be on the outside, between the frame and the axle nuts.
3. Tighten the axle nuts securely, using a six inch adjustable wrench or a 15 mm box wrench.
4. Push the rear derailleur back into position.
5. Close the brake; then spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the frame and clears the brake shoes.
