Lamonster Garage Rear Wheel Removal -RS

[Lamonster]

Question? I’m planning on replacing my back tire and was wondering if it’s necessary to remove the sprocket, rotor, and hub from the rim to replace the tire. Or I only need to do that if I’m going to replace the bearings?

You'll need to remove those things to bust the tire down.

Lamont - Does removing the lower shock mounting bolt eliminate the necessity of loosening the tensioner screws?

I'm asking this because the procedure outlined in the service manual does not remove the shock mounting bolt and says to loosen the tensioner screws.

You can do it by the book method, too, but then the belt has to be retensioned and realigned. Removing the shock bolt (and ASC link) allows you to do the work without retensioning or realigning (if you keep the tensioners seated tightly upon reinstallation). Use either method that suits your desires.
