Hi everyone,
I'm trying to remove the front tire on my 1985 Big Red 250ES and I'm stuck. I loosened the 4 nuts on the right fork and pulled the bracket and also the long bolt that goes through the front wheel and the brake. The long bolt is loose but it will not come out.

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

 

Make sure you take the fork caps all the way off. Make sure there isn't anything with the brake system that is holding it on. It may have to be turned a certain direction in order for it to come off.

Just a guess.............

 

i am in the same situation--trying to replace new front tire and cannot figure out how to remove wheel without tearing something up

ANY HOW TO's on front wheel removal?????????????

thanks

 

 

thanks for the diagram--we used a press to remove the brake assembly after removing the right fork tube to remove tire and wheel.

could you tell me what size shock boots that i would need for replacements???

thanks for the help

 

I am having the same issue on my grandpas 1986 big red the axle will not budge at all and i am afraid i am going to twist something off any ideas on how to get that axle to break free?
