    Triumph Rear Wheel Removal - Funny as Hell

    So I was looking for general info since I don't have the shop manual and came across this.
    If this guy did a complete shop manual I'd buy it in a flash.

    Rear Wheel Removal

    The single-sided swinging arm makes rear wheel removal a doddle on the T5 bikes. Despite this, there have been a fair number of inquiries on the T5 lists on the correct sequence. Especially from people who want to make sure the workshop or tyre warehouse grease-monkeys do it right.
    I have broken down the procedure into a few easy steps, reassembly is simply the same in reverse.
    Tools

    You will need:
    A paddock-stand or similar to hold the rear wheel off the ground (I use an ABBA stand)
    • 46mm spanner for the rear axle nut
    • and probably an extension bar
    • pliers for the retaining clip
    • two 12mm spanners for the exhaust bolts (one'll do if your pliers are ok)
    ideally you'd also have:
    • a torque-wrench capable of 146 Nm (~ 108ft/lbs)
    Loosen rear wheel nut


    • remove spring-clip
    • loosen axle nut (46mm)
      It's on damn tight, so I'd recommend you put the bike in gear
      and/or ask a mate to step on the brake to stop the bike rolling off the side-stand.
    Remove exhaust

    • Remove the two springs at the 3-1 joint. The perfect tool for this is the chain-adjuster hook that comes with the toolkit.
    • remove the footrest-hanger bolt
      12mm nut and bolt. Note sequence of washer/spacers.
    Set bike on stand

    Easy one, this.
    (remove hugger)

    You may be able to get away without removing the hugger - if you have one fitted
    Don't forget it'll be a tighter fit if you replace the wheel with a new tyre on it.
    Remove wheel


    • remove 46mm axle nut
    • remove the 3 spacers. Note order and orientation.
      the one directly behind the nut is slightly conical.
      There has been a little confusion about which way this should point, but the general consensus backed up by the Haynes manual and the Triumph parts mocrofiche is that it should 'point' OUTWARDS towards the nut. That is, with the wider part up against the flat washer.
      However, my Triumph workshop manual says on page 14.8 "dished face outwards" which I take to mean pointing inwards. That's how mine has always been and I've had no problems. So I guess it doesn't matter.
    • remove wheel

    Bob's your uncle.



    Assembly is the reverse procedure.
