6. Remove the wheel retaining nuts and remove the
wheel from the hub.
To reinstall the front wheel and hub:
1. Reassemble the wheel to the hub (be sure valve
stem is on side opposite the brake). Torque the wheel
retaining nuts to 70 to 100 ft. lbs. (95 to 140 N
⋅
m).
2. Reinstall the hub assembly into the fork with the two
(2) large washers at either end of the axle inside the
fork arms, and the axle locks hooked over the top of
the fork arms. Torque the axle nuts to 70 to 100 ft. lbs.

4. Reinstall the brake anchor link using NEW cotter pins
to secure the castle nuts. Make sure the bushings
are in place in both ends of the brake anchor link
CAUTION
!
The brake link bushings MUST be in place in
brake anchor link and the link reinstalled to
prevent the brake stator and drum from turning
when the brakes are applied. Turning could
result in brake hose damage and sudden brake

Your vehicle is equipped with 145 R 12 radial tires (load
range C) mounted on 4.80 x 12 rims. Always keep tires
inflated according to the following specifications.
Cold Inflation Pressure
Front 32 PSI (220 kPa) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Rear 32 PSI (220 kPa) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
NOTE: NEVER exceed the maximum pressure indi-
cated on the tire.
Improper inflation will considerably shorten the life
of your tires. Fill tires with care. Use a pressure
gauge before connecting an air hose to a partly
inflated tire. Due to the low air volume needed,
over–inflation may be reached in a matter of two or
three seconds.
4.25 TIRE REPLACEMENT
Always use replacement tires equivalent to or exceeding
original equipment specifications.
4.26 EXTENDED STORAGE
If the vehicle must be stored with fuel in the fuel system,
