| I did this a couple of weekends ago with the help of Mr Butters and his Abba stand.
It really made the job a lot easier, but I'm sure that you would be able to do it on the sidestand.
I would, in hindsight, replace the circlip on the carrier assembly as it is a real pig to get out. There's nothing worse than bending or breaking the circlip on a saturday afternoon with no chance of getting a replacement - and missing out on your rideout the next day!
Get one in advance - they can't be more than a couple of quid - and replace it "just in case".
Other than that it was really straightforward. The sprocket nuts were a real pain to get off - you need a 12mm allen key (I used a socket version) and a 15mm socket for the nuts.
It's also a good time to replace those corroded sprocket nuts, and clean all the muck off the hub and swingarm! |
