Rear Wheel Removal
1 . Open the brake quick release, if fitted, or screw in the brake cable
adjuster. If more clearance is needed you may need to undo the brake
cable anchor bolt.
2 . If bicycle has derailleur gears, engage the chain onto the smallest
rear cog.
3 . If wheel is fitted with standard axle nuts, use a spanner to loosen
them off.
4 . If a quick release axle is fitted, move the lever to the open position.
5 . If the bicycle has derailleur gears, hold the derailleur unit to prevent
it springing forward, and allow the wheel to slide forward and out
of the frame.
6 . Rest the bike upside down on the handlebars and saddle.
7 . For single geared bicycles with coaster hub, remove the brake arm clip
from the brake arm, lift the chain off the rear cog and over
the rear axle by hand, then allow the wheel to slip out of the frame.
Rear Wheel Replacement
1 . Replacement follows almost the reverse sequence to removal.
2 . For derailleur geared bicycles, take up the tension in the rear derailleur spring by holding the unit fully back.
Feed the top part of the smallest hub cog into the top part of the chain, and fit the wheel into the frame.
3 . For single geared bicycles, lift the chain over the axle and onto the cog, and fit the wheel into the frame.
4 . Make sure the wheel is properly centred in the frame by checking the distance between the front of the wheel and the frame
chainstay tubes on either side. Firmly tighten both axle nuts.
5 . If the wheel has a QR axle, ensure the quick release lever is open and on the left side of the bicycle. Check that the
QR tension is correct and close the lever so that it is parallel to the frame seat stay tube.
This position is best to prevent accidental opening while riding.
6 . On coaster hub bicycles, reinstall the brake arm to the brake arm clip on the chainstay.
7 . Reset the brake quick-release and check the brake pad clearance. Adjust the brake cable / pad clearance if necessary.-
