;Items to note for re-assembly
: Note how the caliper sits against the swingarm.
: Note the order and arrangement of the spacers.

; Tools
* 27mm socket
* Breaker bar
; Instructions
# Place the motorcycle on a [[Lift|lift or rear stand]] so the wheel spins freely.
# Mark/photograph where the alignment marks reside on each side of the axle for re-alignment when re-installing the wheel.

# Loosen the rear axle nut on the right side (27mm) with the breaker bar.
# Remove the rear axle nut.
# Pull the axle part-way out so that the wheel can be moved forward enough to loosen the belt.
# Pull the belt off of the rear sprocket and let it hang outside of the swingarm slightly to avoid interfering with the wheel.
# Pull the axle through the wheel from the left side.
#: Pay attention to the brake caliper: it's attached via the axle, and when the axle is removed the caliper, etc, will come loose.
# Set aside the spacers with alignment marks, noting which goes on which side.
# Set aside the axle and axle nut.
# Pull the wheel out behind the swingarm.
#: The license plate tail holder will likely require rolling the wheel out at an angle to clear it.
