rear wheel install

[Motorcycle Mike]

Is there a trick to get the hub splines to line up with the wheel?

I cant get it to slide on.

It helps some times to put the bike in gear, and just keep turning the tire around, lifting and pushing till it slips in.. some times it helps to walk away from it for a min. then go back and tackle it..

 

hope this helps some'

Yes there is. I bump the starter to where the forward spline is down ( use a flashlight to look up the tube ) then take the back boot loose from the rear part of the swing arm to be able to reach a long screw driver in and lift up the spline wile rocking the drive shaft a little to get it in. With the forward spline down when you lift it up it is in the middle where it can stab easy. Almost a two man job but with a little practice, and patience it is fairly easy.

I may have mis-under stood the question,,, My way is for when you have the rear drive off, and cant stab the drive shaft......

Think he was just replacing the tire, but glad you posted about the drive shaft, as that can be a booger also..

 

Thanks!!

rofl ... happened to me a few times too and the solution always has been to walk away for a few min ... go do something different.

If you have a problem with it in the future, one very easy way is to slip the axle in. That holds it perfectly in line and then you can just push and turn it until it is seated. Then it will stay when you pull the axle back out to put the spacers and etc. in.

So did you put E3's back on Mike?
