Can someone tell me how to remove the rear wheel.&nbsp\\; I have the shocks off and the axle nut off.

 

Seriously, I need some help here.&nbsp\\; My I have the axle nut and both lower shock mounts off.&nbsp\\; The axle adjusters are backed out and loose.&nbsp\\;

 

My manual says in the rear wheel removal section to remove the brake caliper assembly, then remove the axle.&nbsp\\; But in the brake section it says remove the axle, THEN the caliper.

 

I got the banjo bolt and both brake pads off, but still can't get any play in the axle nut.&nbsp\\; Anyone?

 

Blu, you might have to hit the axle pretty hard with a brass drift
if love taps are not moving it at all.

Mr. Puddle,
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I have the belt off, and have hit it with a hammer dampened with a wood block.&nbsp\\; The bolt turns, but will not back out.&nbsp\\; The bolt should just come out over the muffler, right?&nbsp\\; Do I need to remove the brake caliper?

 

The bike is on a lift, with some of the weight of the wheel relieved with a 2x4.&nbsp\\; Here are some pictures.

I'm going to the shed for a bigger hammer.&nbsp\\; I hate doing that.

 

The axle bolt goes through the caliper It must be in a bind to be that hard to remove. Be sure and remove the upper bely guard or you will get hung up on it.

 

Got the upper belt guard off,&nbsp\\; The wheel slides freely front and rear, but the bolt is still not backing out
