Replacing Rear Wheel
My wheels came in yesterday. Looking at the manual, the front seems like a no brainer.
Looking at the rear, there is twice as much info there. I'm kind of leary on the rear due to the adjustersetc etc. Are there any gotchas, watch out for this? Anything you can tell me to make it go easier? Where would I get the axle grease from?
I really appreciate it guys.

It's really not that bad... the adjuster is a cam the aligns the rear on both sides and there is a
guage on the belt guard to go by...

To me the rear is easeir then the front. You can pick up the axle grease at any auto parts store. Read your service manual if you have one, if not you might want to pick one up.

RE: Replacing Rear Wheel
Did mine last night. (rear)Not too bad.
Removed the belt gaurd to make life easy.
Bike on stand with a small floor jack under the back wheel to support it while removing axle.
I read to use anti seize on axle.
American Bagger had an issue with wheel swap in it. Pics helped a bit. (If you want the issue month, I can check when I get home)
Axle nut is 36mm.
