Okay Spyder mechanics, i'm finally ready to chrome the rear rim on my 2012 RT Limited. I have been talking about it for the longest. I am a DIY'fer to a certain point. Where to place the jack? I know on the frame, but when you look under the Spyder, look like the flat part of the frame stops in the middle of the bike then splits off creating the swing arm. I need to get a jack that lift high enough to raise up the rear tire. If i remove the rear rim from the bike, i need to separate the pulley and the hub from the rim to get it chromed. Is there any thing i need to keep in line or be careful removing, like bushings, bearings, etc that i don't want to loose? I don't know anything bout belt alignment, so i'm going to try the trick Lamont showed in his video. Even though i watched Lamont's video of the Spyder RS tire removal, i'm still lost when it comes to the RT. I do have the green repair manual on a CD, but i would like to get some pointers from people on this forum. I like doing things myself, if i can, and not having to go to the dealer. :dontknow:
