Rear footpegs install (Read 103 times)

sesamestreet Full Member Offline Posts: 122 Mississauga Gender:	Rear footpegs install 08/14/13 at 09:10:20 Hey so I just picked these footpegs up http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=35019257922 Apparently they're direct fit. I'm just wondering how do I install these without removing the rear wheel? Left one can go on easy but there isn't enough clearance to get the bolt into the hole for the right one. Any sugtestions?

I think I would rather leave the adjusters alone and pull the axle.

It took some hammer time to get it back in. No biggie but thought you should know it won't just fall out and in.

So how does it come off? raise tire off ground using floor jack remove axle nut using wrench push axle thru hole until a ringing sound is heard. push on the threaded end.

once the axle is out, roll the wheel forward and slip the belt off. The pulley and quite possibly the rubber insulators/isolators will fall out of the wheel and smash your toes or fingers. It weighs as much as the rest of the hub/hoop/spokes/tire combo once the brake plate falls out and smashes your other toes.

Oh, the brake plate fits around a tab on the swingarm, pull back to free the brake plate from the tab, then let the plate rotate down before trying to push the wheel forward. If you forgot to unhook the brake stay and brake rod, do so now... Roll Eyes

Major leaguer pain in the butt. Ask Pine, he was up here a couple weeks ago. Wonder if he ever got his rear brake dialed back in all the way, it takes awhile to find the sweet spot on reassembly, and every bike is different, every time the cable is removed.
