richard100t Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I've been wanting to change my fork oil for a while now. My ? is in my owners manual theres a nut on one end of the wheel & a spindle on the other. My bike has no nut & spindle setup. I havent touched the thing yet so no harm done. Does the axle just slide out once all the screws & calipers are removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 The earlier models have a spindle that screws in the oposite fork leg. So you're not missing a nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aironepony Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Remove calipers and don't let them dangle; tie them to something to take the weight off the hoses. Slacken off the two pinch bolts on the right hand leg. Remove the rubber grommet on the right hand side of the axle pin, and use the hex stud in the tool kit to undo the axle pin. Take care to preserve the spacer and remember which is the right/left side of the wheel for re-assembly...................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get it backwards, you have to flip the shift lever over so you can run in reverse Sorry. Too much yard work last night (10:00 P.M. laying sod) and packing to move this morning. No riding except to go to work. So I'm in a weird mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
