1
Make sure you have enough space to work.
Ideally, your bike is in a bike stand off the ground or secured in a way
that you can work on it with the wheels off. In a pinch, you can flip
your bike upside down to balance it on the saddle and handlebars.
2
Lay out and organize all of your fender hardware.
Make sure you have all of the pieces listed on the previous page.
3
Undo (open) both of your brakes and remove both wheels from your bike.
Set them aside for now. If you have hydraulic disc brakes, insert the
plastic pad spacers so that the calipers do not clamp down without the
rotors in them.
