REAR WHEEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
Note:
Before commencing any work on your Empulse, refer to “SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS”, page 36.
We recommend that removal of the wheel be done by your Brammo
Authorized Dealer or another qualified mechanic. Do not attempt to
remove the wheel on your own. Wheel removal requires mechanical
skill and professional tools.

2. Support the Empulse securely and raise the rear wheel off the
ground using a safety stand or a hoist.
3. Remove the axle nut and washer securing the rear axle.
