Rear Wheel
Removal
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle
is
stabilised and adequately supported. This will help
prevent it from falling and causing injury to the
operator or damage
to
the motorcycle.
1.
Raise and support the rear of the motorcycle.
2.
Release the wheel spindle nut and withdraw the
spindle to a point where it clears the caliper
carrier.

3.
Release the torque reaction bolt from the caliper
carrier.
Do
not allow the caliper
to
hang
on
the brake hoses
as this may damage the hoses and could lead
to
reduced brake efficiency causing loss of motorcycle
control and
an
accident.
4.
As
an
assembly, manoeuvre the caliper and
carrier until
it
is
clear of the brake disc and wheel,
collecting the spacer once it is freed from the
calliper carrier.
