I have an '82 Aspy :11brown:and I am planning on changing the tires myself. Iam reasonably confident about the tire change part (rubber of/on the rim).... what I am a little unsure of is the remove / replace procedure for getting the rear wheel off and back on the bike.



Is it as straightforward as the Clymer's Manual and the Shop manual indicate?



( :? the shop manual mentions a "Retainer wrench: H/C 080970 and a Retainer wrench Body: H/C 090735" but says nothing about what to do with them .....are they something special that are needed?



Any insight or tips would be appreciated .... also a link to some photos of the job if anyone knows of any.



Thanks,

Mike

Find a post by GSMaclean and follow his link to how to docs. I am sure he has one for removing the rear wheel.
I just swapped wheels on my '80 1100 last night and needed no special tools.

Thanks, that whole thing came about because I put a heater in my garage and decided to do lots and lots of maintenance this winter - and thought; "why not just take pictures as I do it, so I can post some online if someone asks." It grew to what you see there now.
