[Night Vision]

[Chivo1944]

sweet i am gonna take off the tire tonight cause im bored

[inanecathode]

what kind of tire???

[Brian Moffet]

Nope, it's really easy.  The differential is sealed and the spline just slides on.

well not exactly just the tire the who rear wheel cause im getting it ready for my macs this week and im thinking of doing some fiberglass work on the rear tail light assembly

[kwells]

just so you know...the macs make it a bit more difficult to get the rear axle out.  I had to remove the monoshock pin so that the swingarm can come below the pipes.  Also...have to jack the bike up a couple more inches higher than the centerstand can provide so you will need a second person available to steady the bike.

Or you can remove the lower MAC can.  Seemed easiest to me.

yah...that would work too. I knew someone out there had a better way.  Mine was rusted on and didnt feel like battling with rusted bolts.

[Rick G]

I like your idea H2O , I have been loosening the muffler mounting bolts,  sticking a piece of wood between the mufflers to separate them and pulling the axle out between them.

[Chivo1944]

whayt are you guys talking about who has to take of the axle

[kwells]

sweet i am gonna take off the tire tonight cause im bored

[Chivo1944]

ok so are they ayaing that putting the tire back on is hard with macs or what causer mine came off easy but i still have stock exhaust on

[Rick G]

Getting the rear axle out takes a little more thought , is all, I've been doing it for  9 years , its not that hard. just pay attention to the  comments here.

[Chivo1944]

im not trying to take the rear axle out i just took the tire off to have more acess ti the heads and the y pipe for when i put on my macs this week

[kwells]

i was talking about taking the tire off with Macs
You currently have stock exhaust so it is much easier.
The axle comes off either way though.

[Chivo1944]

ok i get it since the macs are both on the sam side and a little bit lower you cant just push the akle thru like you can on the stock exhaust so it would be a good idea to get the rear header installe with the help of the y pipe then put on the tire and put the rest of the exhaust on
