16 Breakout rear axle removal
Hey everyone, have a question concerning my 2016 Breakout. I just purchased the rear axle nut covers, you must remove the rear axle and add some spacers to the right side in order to install the axle nut cover. The service guy at the local Harley dealership told me it's a simple job, just jack up the bike to remove tension off the rear wheel, remove slip on, remove the left nut, remove the axle, then reinstall with the provided spacers, torque.
Has anyone done this? Can it be that simple?
Thank you

I've seen a couple youtube videos on removing the rear tire on a softail, they'll show you how easy it is....

Make sure to torque everything to spec as stated in the service manual!
