If you remove the two allen bolts holding the brake caliper to the
fork leg you can remove the front wheel easily using a fork stand.

You should send that pick to Eric Buell, show him how the front end should ahve been built. That stand and wheels makes for a much lighter assembly then the single brake rotor setup.

OWN THE CORNERS!

Everything turned out perfect. The first squeeze of brakes didnt really do much but after I gave a couple squeezes, pressure was restored. Im gonna have a beer, I acomplished something.
