spacing between the ABS sensor
ring and the ABS sensor, and
therefor to ABS malfunctions or
destruction of the ABS sensor.
To ensure the proper alignment
of the threaded bush, do not
loosen or remove the left axle
clamping screw.
Remove right-hand axle clamp-
ing screw

Remove quick-release axle 3
while supporting wheel.
Roll front wheel forward to re-
move.

during control interventions
by ABS and DTC if a wheel other
than the standard wheel is in-

and DTC at the beginning of this
chapter.
