Rear wheel re-installation

[lisk]

Hi guys, I have a quick question I'm sure you will be able to help me with. I've done this a few times in the past but my memory seems to be slipping! When I re-install the back wheel, do I slide the axle in and then tighten the axle nut first and then the "pinch-nut" on the caliper side or vica versa?

Thanks for your help.Have a great day

Just like you said, axle nut then pinch bolt.

Hi Lisk

....and don't forget to centralise the disc in the caliper by pulling the swing arm out before doing the tightening the pinch bolt .

Keep revving

Centralize the Disc?

Thanks Mike, it is all re assembled and seems to be in working order but I'm not quite sure what you mean by "pull the swing arm out". I may have done this without realizing it. It seems to be spinning and braking OK while up on the center stand. Thanks for your help.

Because the calipers are not a floating design the disc must be centered in the caliper opening by pulling on or pushing in on the swing arm on the pinch bolt side. You will tighten the pinch bolt when the disc is centered in the opening.

Thanks Rob, I'll recheck the situation there to be sure it's Ok. Have a good one!
