- CHECK OUT OUR NEW REAR WHEEL REMOVAL VIDEO HERE: • How To Remove & Instal...
Law Abiding Biker (LAB) Media Production (www.lawabidingbiker.com). This video will teach you step-by-step how to remove and reinstall the rear wheel of your Harley Davidson motorcycle, thus saving you ALOT of MONEY not taking it to the dealer or other service facility when you just need a new tire put on the wheel. Shops charge a lot of money to remove and reinstall the rear wheel.We don't leave anything out and even show you the tools to use. You will also learn how to check and adjust your belt drive and check your brakes along with other tips and tricks. We wanted it to be a very thorough tutorial video with lots of angles, so you can see everything were talking about. In the video we use a Haley Street Glide to service, but it you should be able to remove any Harley Davidson rear wheel after watching.

It does not matter how many times you have tightened a fastener, USE A TORQUE WRENCH, there is a reason.
Little advise, because even those poly hamers can still mushroom the threads,
Put the nut on 3-4 threads and hit the nut
I've owned several bikes and just realized the tool bag that comes with the bikes has all the tools you need. One of the wrenches inside your bag is good for the rear axel, front axel, front fork.... fYI
Should use the jack to lift and lower motorcycle instead of struggling with wheel.
Caliper should be removed before wheel.
I have to tell you regardless of the various comments you have made me challenge myself in replacing my rear. I had my front replaced on a road trip 3k ago and it cost me $448. So here in Canada Harley has their 15% hidden surcharge on tires and installed was going to cost me $580 and taxes and enviro fees. I have ordered a tire for the rear and with your video I will be saving about 50% or more. I have lots of time and less money.
Appreciate you taking the time and effort. Cheers
I always use a hydraulic jack to bring my tire up. Easy as pie. Besides that, I think the video is excellent brother.
Thank you.

Great Video Ryan. I liked the tip about the belt tension. Just to share a tip. To align everything to install the axle I roll the tire onto a small Craftsman floor jack, like your orange one. Jack up the wheel into the fender until the axle holes are aligned with swing arm holes instead of lowering the bike jack. The wheel remains at the perfect height and no need to hold it. Leaves hands free to effortlessly start pushing the axle in and add the parts as the axle travels through. The wheel is on a jack with wheels so is easily moved if needed. No need for pry bar, screw driver or hammer. Love the vids and podcasts.
Thanks for sharing with the community. I too have done it that way. My other small jack was out of commission. Ride safe brother. Gonna redo this video to reflect such. Always nice to have options with minimal equipment I guess.
That is exactly what I was going to suggest. Makes life so much easier when you are doing this by yourself. Removes all the tension on the axle, making removal so much easier.
Thanks for your video....I did my first rear wheel removal, and it saved me a lot of money by not going to the Harley dealer..I fitted a Maxxis classic MT-16B tyre at the local tyre shop...greetings from Belgium...
Great to hear! Shout out Belgium!! So cool. New version here ==> www.lawabidingbiker.com/rearwheel
i about died when you said "its a good old american made Harley-Davidson, so everything is real tight specifications" hahaha. Harley has the loosest tolerances in the business lol
I just bought a 2008 CVO Ultra about a month ago. This being my first "Harley Davidson" motorcycle I'm finding your videos extremely helpful and look forward to watching them all. Thanks for the info!!!!
Awesome wongfou! Super glad you found it useful. We have a ton of videos out, so enjoy and welcome to the law abiding biker community. Ride safe & enjoy that motorcycle.
P.S. I've also purchased the service manuals, but it's always one thing reading about it vs. actually doing it.
Congrats on the purchase!! Make sure and inspect them thoroughly. Look on the sidewalls for any signs of cracks or rotting. If you are going to run those tires, the best thing is to have a certified Harley mechanic inspect them if you're not sure. I know tires are expensive, but your life really depends on them on a motorcycle. You REALLY want to make sure they are prefect or replace them for your safety.
good tip on tires, i bought a new conti blitz and wore it out in 4000 miles, cord showed and i went 90 degrees sideways in a corner at 70, what a ride
Dang. Glad your okay!!
Great video. Learned to remove my rear to get the cracked oil pan to side back and off. What a job.
You're the man!!! Just changed out my f&r rims like a pro with your vids!!! Got a six pack in Miami waiting for you if you're ever riding through... God Bless and may he keep your wheels firmly on the ground!!!
Thank you very much! Glad we could help. I hope all is well in Miami.

Thanks - I had to watch a couple times cause I'm pretty old! Also had to run up to Sears for a 36mm socket (cheaper than a wrench $9) but got it handled. God Bless Brother!
Awesome and super glad the video was helpful. Thanks for the shout out.

Thankyou, I am tired of paying high prices to get tires and installation since I was retired due to a stupid van driver. I did not want to try this but I will now. Thanks again.

Great work and great video. I would recommend cleaning the axle and inside of the bearings and adding some fresh anti-seize. On one occasion mine had seized to the bearings and I had to beat the axle out with a mallet. It added at least an hour to what was a very frustrating process. Tire changes are a little scary until you've done one. When you've seen it done, it's not that scary any more. When you realize how much money you can save, it's worth every minute of your effort.
Great suggestions Byron. Great feedback too!
You taught me this when I needed it, when you posted it. You've come a long way since then and so have I through your videos.
Again, thank you!
Just installed a front wheel and tire from a 2015 Road Glide on my 2008 Road Glide, after watching your front wheel and fender video. Looked at my rear tire and saw the Harley wear indicator you mentioned, so I guess I'll be doing this soon. Again, thanks for the videos.
Sweet! Lurch put a 2011 Road Glide tire on his 2008 Street Glide. The bigger wheel changes the front look of the '08's. We're glad you found our videos useful. Take care!
I own a GROM. That thing is like an 18 wheeler truck compared to my little bike. Love the vid. Thumbs up.
Thanks for the video Ryan. I have never taken the caliper off to install the wheel before. I was struggling big time and removing it really helped. Good video!
Love hearing things like this Mark. So stoked the video was useful brother!!

I changed my rear wheel,used a floor jack under the tire, worked very well.
Great instructional video! So much better than a service manual. Thanks a million!!!

If you remove the left side muffler so the axel can come out and go back in straight and use a floor jack to jack up your wheel, it makes it much easier to get everything lined back up. Belt, spacers, caliper etc. Brake caliper goes back on swing arm without removing mounting arm. No pry bars or hammers are needed and your pipes and other things don’t get scratched or dented up.
This is a very detailed video. Since I moved away from my club's shop I get to do this by myself without help.
Great Lession. Thanks from a Ultra Classik Rider, who drive 18 Years a Goldwing and now 3 years Harley.
Best Regards from Germany and ride Safe.

@bluezgun.....thanks for the comment. I'm a bit confused. The brake pads don't need to be changed every time the tire is removed? I'm not sure what you were looking at, but trust me; your rotor won't bend. Sorry if I did not answer the question in full. :-)
Thanks for the video Ryan. It was very clear and all those "gotcha" type details were very well explained. Great work!

Although the rear wheel is more of a pain in the ass to change, it was still less stressful than watching the frontwheel video, where the caliper kept hitting the new fender! Great stuff Ryan.
Mr. Ryan Urlacher, great video. I'm from Brazil, i own a 883 Sportster 2013 which cost much of my life to buy. I was thinking about remove and paint the wheels, after watching your video everything cleared.
Thanks for your job.
+Sílvio Séxtio Awesome!! We love hearing things like this Silvio! It is what keeps us going. Knowing that bikers around the world are finding the videos helpful. Best of luck to you on that project. Enjoy that Sportster.

I put a floor jack under the rear wheel to take the tension off the axle, that way you can raise or lower the wheel as necessary. Also those of us with stock mufflers, if you remove the bottom shock bolts, you can jack up the rear wheel and slide the axle out without removing the mufflers.
New video here ==> www.lawabidingbiker.com/rearwheel
Thanks for the video. I have done my '04 Dyna Super Glide before so I used the video as a refresher when I changed tires on my new (used) '06 Wide Glide, The Bike only has 14, 000 miles on it but the axle was a bear to remove. I soaked it with penetrating oil, used an old nut on the left side and had to pound the living daylights out of it. It was a corroded mess. Emery cloth and some elbow grease solved the problem and I reassembled it with a good dose of Anti-Seize. I'll be throwing a few shekels your way for the video.
Thanks for the DONATION wtduryea! I'm really glad you liked the video. Wow, that sound like a bitch of an axle to get out. You bring up a good point for bikers watching this. Make sure your axle always has plenty of Anti-Seize grease on it. Put some extra on when you put it back on. Thanks for everything and ride safe. Check out the podcast if you get a chance www.lawabidingbiker.com/podcast
Truly amazing. I never seen a video made so easy and simple for anyone to understand, thanks
Thanks so much Andy for watching and taking the time to comment! We really appreciate it and welcome to the community! Ride safe brother!!!!

I really appreciate your videos...I need to do my rear wheel soon and this helps me attack the job properly!
Thanks Edward!
Torque specs and manual are goods things for sure, many thanks to guys/gals to be correct who post vids like this that help those of us who love to work on our bikes. Great video thanks.
Our pleasure! Newer video here on rear wheel --> www.lawabidingbiker.com/rearwheel
Dude, just bought my first Harley. 2012 Ultra Classic. Thank you for showing me that I can work on it and don't have to take it to the dealer! Great set of videos! Huge Fan!
Thanks so much Mr. Ryan! Great video! I normally do most of the easy maintenance stuff on my bike I was afraid to do this myself but after watching your cool and detailled video I am ready to remove the rear wheel tonight and take it to the shop tomorrow since it need a new valve stem and I need to save some money!!! Again, thank you so much Sir! Humble Regards.

Great video! I suggest in the intro state the tools required. Simple like 3/8" x 1/2" socket. 1 7/16" open end wrench ect... Or at the end. I liked the emphasis on the machine lines on the spacers. You still hit it just right. Thanks!

@@RyanUrlacher Why do you say the machine lines go to the outside?
Om..

Hey Ryan, just wanted to stop by and say how helpful I find your videos. I've used your maintenance video, and both front and rear wheel removal videos. Of course not every bike is the same but I always have a bit of confidence in trying something new after I watch your videos. Saved myself hundreds by doing it myself already. Thanks!
Very simple instructions. That's why I subscribed
Thanks for the video. Like someone else said, reading it in the service manual is one thing, but seeing it done on video is another. Your video gave me the confidence I needed to tackle the job. Superb.
Great to hear Robert and thanks for taking the time to comment.

Recommendation to all DIYr's.. Invest in a shop manual your specific year and model. .
Yeah, but at $150, it's pricey!
@@SinnerSince1962 Well if you have the tools, interest and aptitude, you can recover that $150 in the first repair or maintenance job you do yourself.
And also you'll know the job was done right and you'll have the satisfaction and pride of doing it yourself.
Take off the caliper next time dumb ass
@@SinnerSince1962 Small investment after dropping 20k plus on the bike though...
i had to buy three for mine; touring, trike and electric for my 2018 HD triglide ultra
Thanks for taking the time and doing this video- I have a rigid custom with a wish bone frame and crate Harley motor. Before that I always had shovelheads or panheads. I used this video to help out on my rear wheel for my FLH. It was a big help.
Right on! Glad we could help.

Replaced my rear tire of my 2013 Road King this week with the help of your video.
Thanks a lot.
Greetings from Germany
Awesome man! Hope all is well in Germany!! Very cool to hear from you and ride safe
Thanks for another great "how to" video. I'll be replacing my rear tire and brakes in about a month and this video will really help. I've got a low profile jack that I'm hoping I can use to lift the rear tire up to the bike for re-install. Another tip - instead of letting the calipers hang like that, use a bungee cord and hang them up and out of the way. This takes the stress off the hydraulic tubes and fittings. Again, great video.
Great tip! Thanks.

Awesome Glenn. Super stoked the video was helpful!
I saw this one. Always a good time to change tires at the end of the lifespan. Ryan wait 8 years when yur bike tips over off the table you have then , time travel, anit it great 👍
I've done this before and after using my bike lift to jack up the bike and strap it down I use a floor jack under the rear wheel to help me as a extra hand and it also helps with installation.

Grest video, very helpful, I would like to point out one helpful hint if I may, not everyone has a nice clean work area, It is a very good idea to clean your axle and appy a fresh new coat of antisieze compound to ur axle, just because if you set it down you may get grit n dirt on it... so please dont be offended by this tip, you do a great job. I really enjoyed ur video. Thank you!
Thank you. We always appreciate constructive criticism. We get better because of it.

Every video that the sky does is really good detailed yeah he's a good dude
Great video. Going to remove the rear wheel tomorrow. I feel very assured and motivated to accomplish this job. I have ABS and hope there's nothing more to it. Keep up the great vids and thank you for your service for our country. Semper Fi
Thanks a bunch Tommy. Glad the video is helpful. The ABS won't change a thing. Ride safe brother
I just did mine on my 09 street glide and i find it easier to remove the brake caliper before pulling the wheel axle
I enjoyed this video but thought Id give you a tip that may help you line things up for your axel in the future. Get yourself a couple brass drifts a little smaller than you axel. One maybe 6 or 8 inches long. Another about 10 inches and use them instead of a screw driver. They are softer than the metal on the bike and you can mate one up with the axel once started on the left side and strike it instead of your axel with the hammer. The other drift used to line up things on the right side in place of a screw driver. Because of the diameter of the drift things won't shift around as much on you and your hammer wont come in contact with any of your chrome. Hope this helps. Also if you play with you lift you can position the rear wheel down to take pressure off the axel and push it out by hand. Then raise it up to get the wheel out.
I use a small floor jack that I bought from harbor freight that works good for holding that tire up in place and jacking it down.
Very cool!
I use Yamaha Grease on the axel. Used it for my dirt bikes. Repels water dirt.
Heck yah, any good grease will do
I used to change and balance my Harley tires myself using tire irons and a balancing rack simply made with a wood dowel between two saw horses.
Good deal bro!! Ride Safe and thanks for commenting.
Exactly like a bicycle when I was young. Follow the same procedure.
Thank you for posting the vid. It’s going to save me a lot of money replacing my tires.
just had my first flat on my 2012 streetglide rear tire, new it couldn't be to hard and you took the guess work for me ! thanks a bunch . I like that I can understand you < well spoken ! very helpful ....
Great Donald! And I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and let me know. Motivates me to keep putting content to bikers. Ride safe!!!
Great Video! Especially for guys not so mechanically inclined. However, I find it easier to maneuver the rear wheel with a floorjack cupping the tire. It allows you those small incremental ups and downs effortlessly. Just FYI.
I use a floor jack too to raise tire most the time. Just trying to make it for everyone to show you can use anything if you don't have another jack. Not everyone can have 2 jacks. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video. Gonna do both mine in the morning.
Would love to get the torque specs.
Thank you
Right on. We don't have the torque specs available. Tight and a quarter turn is how we do it.

Excellent video!! I saved $250-300 doing this myself and not hard at all!! I only had to purchase the 36mm wrench for the rear axle nut bc it's huge!! It was $12 online and got a great price on tires also online!! Some of the cashola saved by riders should go to support these guys bc HD dealers want an arm, leg, and usually the first born to work on our bikes!!A few FYI's, I just did both tires on my 2013 Ultra, the machined lines on my spacers, front & back, go towards the inside. If you're working alone, I also used a platform jack to raise and lower the tires bc it is an awkward angle! DO NOT have both tires off at the same time using a center jack like this! I was lucky in that I had put boards under the front tire when I removed the rear and the bike did shift! So their are differences but very minor! Just pay attention when doing the work yourself! Also can't stress enough about using the wratchet straps to hold the bike secure, excellent info!Thanks again for putting these videos up as it saves riders a lot of dinero!!Ride on..........

Your video gave me idea, I have the same jack, but I didn't realized I
can use the jack to tie down the bike. Once I remove my wheels, I'll just take
them to this guy advertised at craigslist he installs and balance tire for
$30 each. This will save me some money, good info.
+super mario That is awesome Super Mario.......that makes us smile. Bikers out there saving money and appreciating the videos.

Yeah I buy my tires at cycle gear. I do the same with them- buy the tire have it shipped there and take off whatever nike I am working on.
HEY Urlacher!! Crap another good video a few years late. All good bro I just bought my third bike. A 1995 Ultra Classic Electra Glide BOOOY! So along with my 2010 Road King Police (ex- Calgary cop bike) and my 1998 Fatboy 95 fifth anniversary I can successfully remove my rears.
Awesome dude. Shiny side up Brother
That was very helpful when I get around time to changing the tire on my 2014 Street Glide. I did the changing on my 1991,2002,2005 soft tails. Good deal.
Wow...that's some tire changing there. Good work and glad the video helped
I learned to use my lift to take tension off of the hub when removing the axle.
Great way to do it!

Thanks Ryan. Now I know how to change my tire.
Very helpful video Ryan! Definitely gave me the confidence to tackle myself. I actually thought there was nothing to it. Keep the info videos coming! Thanks! Ride safe man!
Thanks Curt!!
Great informative video. Did my tires on my 04 roadking before, just refreshed my memory. Definitely great info. Ride safe brother.
Very nicely done, Ryan. I had all of this stuff down on my Victory motorcycles, but I recently picked up an 08 Ultra. My 1st Harley....So, this is really helpful for me. I know what a pain it can be to make a video such as this, so I really appreciate it. Again, thanks so much for this and I look forward to watching many more, and ordering parts thru your site so you guys get that kick-back. Ride on, many thanks.
I love Victory motorcycles too. They make some great stuff. Thanks so much for your support brother and ordering stuff for our affiliate links on the website (www.LawAbidingBiker.com).

“Cuz” is that local awesome buddy mechanic We All know a Cuz... LOL right on Man
Here in OZZ, ........most tire places, seem to overcharge the price of them ,[tires] somewhat.. eg. Metzler Rr 888, $280 a.[$190 us] fitted..only just ,$20 au[$14 us]or so saved for Old school and DIY 's
Great stuff ryan, I've used a short length of lumber (2x4) over the ammo can in between the tire. Works great for removal and install. Gives you a very smooth point to adjust the tire up/down. works great. From "LE" to another.
Rock on Scott!! Be safe brother. We have an updated rear wheel removal video too!! ==> www.lawabidingbiker.com/rearwheel
You are just awesome with these vids. Stay Safe and keep it shiny side up.

Stay tuned to Law Abiding Biker dot com and this channel. We have many videos in the works and are constantly working on content. Hopefully belt inspection/tension video will be in the future sometime.
Great video thank you....shop manual is a great investment for the DIYer especially with torque specs on the rear axel and other CRITICAL areas
REALLY liking the videos. I want to start working on my own bike. Just never even tried working on my own stuff. Started doing my own oil 2 years ago, VERY easy !!
Thanks a lot ! BK's DE-1
I usually use a floor jack to help with the rear tire makes it easier for me
Idk if you still check this page for comments, but what do you do when the back tire is out of alignment before you get a chance to mark the cams? Rolling the bike backwards down the driveway it rolls a few feet then it's like the brakes are dragging. Rolling forward is fine...sort of. Put it in the air, took bags off, spun tire backwards and the tire hits the top rung of belt, even causing the belt to lift and twist. I thought spinning tire forward corrected the problem...but that's because the belt guard was keeping me from seeing how the tire is catching the bottom rung of belt, but seems to not be near as much was when spinning it backwards. Every video and link talks about marking the cams to keep in line with the weld tabs. If you need to loosen or tighten belt you rotate the cams equal to each other. However, I can't find anything about starting from a misalignment without any cam marks. 2003 RK.
Thanks Ryan great video very informative and step by step is very helpful.
Newer video here ==> www.lawabidingbiker.com/rearwheel
I remove the rear caliper before I remove the tire -- no more hanging up. Reinstall it after the wheel is back where it belongs. Also to lift the wheel I use a floor jack. Allows for precise control of the vertical movement of the tire.
nice vid , hadn't thought about strapping the iron down to the jack - sounds like a good plan though -
the dimple on the threaded end of the axle is there so you can tap the axle out with a long point pick......
half moon adjuster, the shape is called an eccentric cam.
I’m going to contribute to ur site so you can buy yourself a 36 mm socket rather than using a crescent wrench. All in all very informative video. I’ll remember to take the brake caliper off first before removing the tire. Thank you !
Rock on Keith. We could to this without the support of the community. You found a very old video from us. Coo. Here is our new rear wheel removal video. Make sure you're subbed to this channel, so you get all our new videos ruclips.net/video/qIyUNfp_-9Q/видео.html
Thank you very informative.
Lower the bike closer to the floor and you can use a tire spoon or pry bar to take pressure off axle.
Thanks for the video Ryan.It has given me the courage to try it tomorrow on my 06 Ultra.
Thanks you . You really took the time to go over everything.. AWESOME..
Absolutely Steve. And thanks for commenting brother
This is by far the most helpful video thank you so much for this
For future removal projects.... you can put the tire on a floor jack and use the jack to raise and lower the tire into place precisely and not make you wish you had four hands!
Thanks for watching & commenting. Many ways to skin a cat huh?
Ryan Urlacher Sure is. I spent years struggling to do this myself. Same theory, wood blocks, feet, ammo cans, small children, you name it... (ok maybe not ammo cans haha) Then last year I was changing my wheel bearings and a buddy suggested the jack. Took no time, no sweat and tears and no tools thrown across the garage. Wish I'd learned this trick years ago! Good videos! Now you got me considering a 2014 SG!
MrOatmeal5150 I like the "small children" idea.....LOL
Thanks for the prompt reply. By day I work in an optical lab measuring everything into the 100ths. So I usually measure things on my bike tight because I just don't know any better. But I really appreciate the experience guys like you and Moonfleet41 bring to RUclips to share with the rest of us. Great vid on the oil change as well. I left a comment there too.
Awesome job Ryan. Love your videos. So helpful and thorough. Thanks for the time you invest.Ride Safe and Hard!
Thanks for sharing! Way To Get Her Done!
You bet! Glad to help.
