Removing Front Wheel
The search engine is down and I don't have a shop manual yet. Need a little advise before I get into something I haven't done yet...
What's the best way to remove the front wheel? I do have a lift, but not sure if I have all the right tools.
Thanks in advance,
-Biskit

RE: Removing Front Wheel
get the front wheel just a tad off the ground, take off the front fender, take off the big bolt first, then the clamp on the other side. use a big screwdriver and stick it in the hole on the one end and twist and pull. if you need to tap it with a rubber mallet on the other side, just thread the bolt on a couple of threads and beat on that instead of the axle. good luck, it's pretty easy m'man.

RE: Removing Front Wheel
I was gonna say why take off the front fender. I take off the calipers when removing the wheel too. makes it easeir IMO...Almost forgot to say don't squeeze the front brake lever while the caliper is off...
