Yup, pretty easy on my 650 (shaft-drive) to pull the rear. Center stand, remove brake linkage, that weird little connecting shaft thing (both about a 10mm nut), then the axle nut and axle (there is a spacer on the axle, so pay attention to its location). Once that's out, the rear drum assembly will mostly fall on the ground and the tire can then shimmy out.
Be sure to let all the air out of the tire, or it won't fit out. Takes 10 minutes to pull once you know what you're doing. Replacement is the reverse of removal. Brake linkage can be adjusted by hand. Just make the two arrows line up. Again, put the tire on the bike with no air or it won't fit. - JO On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 11:05 AM, paul annen <[email protected]> wrote: > i vote take it off and take the rim to the shop.. its good expirence and it > will save a little money > > > On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 12:27 PM, Kurt Nolte <[email protected]>wrote: > >> If you have a manual to give you a good idea of reassembly, go for it.
