is there a trick to mounting the rear wheel? replaced the tire, and spent half the day trying to get the wheel assembly back on. should i try and assemble the whole wheel and run the axle thru or do it in sections? and if so, do i start from the right (brake drum side) or the left(pully side)? not a hell of alot of room to work with there. i cant seem to get the brake panel to slip over the frame knotch if i start from the belt side. i hope this makes sense and any help would be appreciated. By the way, is it  possible to repair the rear tire if broken down on the road or do you have to have it towed? nice bike, but it could use a center stand for sure

Start pushing the axle in from the right hand side- drum side - while keeping the spacers and the brake case slip'd over the frame tab - you can get pretty busy doing it for sure - little grease on the axle as well.
