Question about rear tire

[virus1200]

This might sound sad but I have never removed the rear tire I want to install tag bracket on swingarm is it a hard job what do I do?

Its easy, if your mechainical,
I assume you have rear stand... put it on that. Then you have to loosen the axle (chain) adjusters on both sides, take off the cotter pin from the nut on the right side. Remove that nut, then tap the axle out with a hammer.
Than put it all back together with the tag mount in there.
You might have to disconnect the brake arm from the caliper, I dont remember.

Its much easier to do than it looks...doesn't take too long either once you've done it a few times

I sit on a stool and with an old pair of running shoes on, put my foot under the tire and raise it slowly until everything lines up, works for me. Oh, remember to remove the chain guard so that you can carefully lay the chain on the swing arm off to the left side.
