I searched Wheel Removal, and Rear Wheel Removal, and Taking Rear Wheel Off... and I got nothing.



Can some one do a quick write up?

screw it, I'm just gonna start turning nuts and bolts until I get some where.

yea... that was freakin simple.... I was expecting a solid axle.

Glad you figured it out on your own. 

Did you touch the chain slack adjuster nuts?

If so, did you back them off each an equal amount of turns to maintain alignment?

Did you check your alignment before removing the rear wheel so you know how to align it when you put it back together?

SEARCH NOOB!!!



Anyway...

Can you do a quick write-up?  I'm about to replace my bad rear rim with a new one.  Help is helpful.

uhm, pull the Cotter Pin, use a 17mm wrench on one side and a adjustable cresent on the other (Bigger than 19mm, so I had to)


Tap out axel from the castle nut side... dont' screw with chain tensioners.... pay attention to order of washers.


I ended up screwing with chain tensioners, partly because my shaZam! is all bent... partly because my chain needed adjustment.



And I must say... Sport Demons are where its at.

How did you get the chain off of the sprocket?  Did you just loosen the wheel and move it foward enough to slip the chain off?

once the axel pops all the way through, you can roll the chain forward enough to swing it over the... uhm, swingarm....


The axel comes ALL the way out...

Thankz man!

I wanna try and repair my GS without going to a thrid-party shop.  Save as much $$$ as I can

word....


Downside of today was that I paid some one to mount my rim, and I didn't notice how scratched my rim was until I went to put it on the bike.... and the balance weight fell off before I even got it on the bike.


Shiddy.

Hopefully that's the only thing I'm gonna have to pay someone to do.

It'll be around $20.

i can't beleive you guys think you need help removing wheels and adjusting your chains, to much time playing on computers and watching tv. get out there and start ripping things apart.
this is all very easy stuff, get some confidence nothing bad will happen

The nut is 22mm, the bolt is 17mm.
