How do you remove a rear tire on a Harley Davidson?
Put your right foot (toes) under the tire. Lift your toes and take the pressure off the tire and unload the weight off the tire/axle. Slip the axle out. Say “I love cheese” again.
Do you move the axle adjusters on a Harley Davidson?
DO NOT move the axle adjusters as although it may seem like a good idea at the time, you create more work later, and I can almost bet, you don’t own the $22 belt adjustment tool. (hint, hint) Go buy it, then say, “I love cheese.” As you yank the axle out, the wheel will drop, as will the left and right axle spacers.
How do you put a right spacer on a tire?
Have a smoke/beer/optional activity. Sit back on the garage, driveway/kitchen floor, and place said foot back under said tire. As you lift it, wrap the belt back around the rear sprocket, and pull it backwards, taking most of the slack back out of it. Take weight off tire/rim, and push axle through right bearings, and place right spacer on axle.
What’s the best way to remove a rear tire?
Life the tire/wheel combo onto the top of your right foot/toes back in place. Slide wheel/tire to right. Put in the left wheel spacer. Get the tire/wheel in place, and hold the axle in your left hand. Yes, it’s greasy.
