Removing The Rear Wheel - SWM SM 500 R E4 2018 Handbuch

REMOVING THE REAR WHEEL

Unscrew the nut (1) of the wheel axle (3) and extract
it. It is not necessary to loosen the chain tension-
ers (2); in this way, the chain tension will remain
unchanged after reassembly. Extract the complete
rear wheel, keeping the spacers located at the hub
sides.
To reassemble, reverse the above procedure re-
membering to insert the brake disc into the calliper.
(Coupling torque of the nut (1) 142 Nm / 14,48 Kgm
/ 104, 73 ft/lb.)

Note*: Do not operate the rear brake pedal when
the wheel has been removed; this causes the cal-
liper pistons to move outwards.
After removal, lay down the wheel with brake disc
on top.
After reassembly, depress the brake pedal until the
pads are against the brake disc.
