Hey Guys. 8000km's on my bike and its time for a new rear tire. im down to cords. Bought another Diablo Corsa 3 just because i really liked how well they felt. The dealer wants 200 bucks to pull the tire and re install it plus 50 to put the new one on the rim and balance it! Screw that!!! Ill just pull it myself and pay 20 bucks so get it installed and balanced somewhere else. Anyways, anyone have any tips to pulling the rear tire/wheel assembly? torque specs for the rotor or belt pulley? Tips on realigning the belt on reinstall? Imsure you guys have done your own tires allready.... Let me know! Thanks, Dave | ||

support bike with rear tire off ground. loosen pinch bolt under right side of swingarm, r/h threads. loosen axle nut,l/h threads. remove brake caliper allen bolts. remove axle, remove wheel. i changed my tires with rotor and pulley installed. reinstall. tighten securely, tighten pinch bolt. no alignment or tensioning required. tim | ||

I am pretty sure there are specific torque procedures with the rear axle as I just had a tire replaced. Call your local dealer and they will have the procedure. | ||

Rear wheel removal 1) Get the rear wheel off the ground using a stand or jack or something like that (I use a rear wheel stand (Pitbull). 2) Rotate the rear wheel to align the slots in the disk with the two caliper bolts and 3) Remove the two caliper bolts (allen bolts) and rotate the caliper up and back to move it out of the way 4) Loosen the pinchbolt on the underside of the left side swingarm (left as when seated on the bike) 5) Remove axle using the tool in the tool pouch> Important: It is a left handed thread! 6) Remove upper and lower belt guard (Torx fasteners) 7) When the belt gets slack carefully move it of the pulley while rotating the wheel 8) Fully remove the axle bolt and guide the wheel to the ground 9) Remove the two caliper bolts (allen bolts) and rotate the caliper up and back to move it out of the way. 10) Pull the wheel out towards the back And that's it! Putting the wheel back on is the reverse of the dismount, but keep a couple things in mind: a) When putting the axle bolt back on: Rear axle is first tightened to 27 ft-lbs then backed out 720 degrees and re-tightened to 48-52 ft-lbs. Rear pinch bolts are tightened to 40-45 ft-lbs. Make sure you apply anti-seize on the axle before putting it back on. Avoid getting the anti-seize on the swingarm paint. It can be a pita to clean up! b) The caliper bolt torque spec is 18-20ft-lbs | ||

Neil (Ccryder) helped me with this info. I don`t know the torque numbers but will post it tomorrow if no one beats me to it Neal: Wheel removal is no trick. A:Remove upper and lower belt guards B:Remove two bolts that hold brake caliper (nest it in the swingarm pocket to clear rotor). C:Loosen pinch bolt D:Loosen axle (left handed threads) E:Remove axle. Taper on axle gives enough slack to slide belt off of pulley. Your tool kit has the adapter to loosen the axle. I think you need a 22mm socket for the adapter. Any other questions? Neil S.
