Speed Rs Rear Hugger Removal

Looking at the hub I wouldn’t imagine the chain adjustment will change when you remove the wheel.

Let us know how you get on?

 

In this vide guy is carefully disassembling both wheel for repainting. Hope this helps.

 

I have removed the hugger with the wheel in place, it’s a bit fiddly as there is one screw that is partially hidden and you need to bend the hugger to get at it. Putting it back on is the worst but it can be done, you need a fairly long tool (ooooerrr missus) to be able to tighten the screw.
If you still want to take the wheel out the only thing I would add having watched the vid is that rear wheel nut was nowhere near tight enough if he could undo it with a spanner, albeit a long one. Best advice, get a good fitting socket and a breaker bar, and a friend! The friend will hold the rear brake on so the wheel can’t turn, I do this while the bike is still on the ground on the side stand, then up on the stand, wheel out, chain adjustment untouched. Ta dahh!

 

Sounds right, do you have a handbook, I’m sure it’s in there.

 

Failing that it’s either 145 or 146 but then you’ll have to make sure the spring clip can be located in the hole in the axle.
