(8) If you disengaged the brake quick-release mechanism in 3. c. (2) above, re-engage it to
restore correct brake pad-to-rim clearance.
(9) Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the frame and clears the brake pads;
then squeeze the brake lever and make sure that the brakes are operating correctly.
e. Removing A Bolt-on Front Wheel
(1) If your bike has rim brakes, disengage the brake’s quick-release mechanism to open the
clearance between the tire and the brake pads (see Section 4.C, figs. 11 through 15).
(2) Using a correct size wrench, loosen the two axle nuts.
(3) If your front fork has a clip-on type secondary retention device, disengage it and go to the
next step. If your front fork has an integral secondary retention device, loosen the axle
nuts enough to allow wheel removal; then go to the next step.
(4) Raise the front wheel a few inches off the ground and tap the top of the wheel with the
palm of your hand to knock the wheel out of the fork ends.
f. Installing A Bolt-on Front Wheel
(1) With the steering fork facing forward, insert the wheel between the fork blades so that
the axle seats firmly at the top of the slots which are at the tips of the fork blades. The
axle nut washers should be on the outside, between the fork blade and the axle nut. If
your bike has a clip-on type secondary retention device, engage it.
(2) While pushing the wheel firmly to the top of the slots in the fork dropouts, and at the
same time centering the wheel rim in the fork, use the correct size wrench to tighten
the axle nuts enough so that the wheel stays in place; then use a wrench on each nut
simultaneously to tighten the nuts to 180 - 240 inch pounds.
(3) Re-engage the brake quick-release mechanism to restore correct brake pad-to-rim
clearance; spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the frame and clears
the brake pads; then squeeze the brake lever and make sure that the brakes are
operating correctly.
