Finally a decent video on how to deal with wheel removal on a shaft driven bike. Thanks for the adequate lighting, camera angles, and explanation of the steps. Haven't found a better video yet for this process.
Thank you for this. I have an 02 ACE and I ride all year. Changing front and rear now. I don’t know if you have ever heard this, but I had a Honda mechanic tell me that it’s best to use a grease containing moly-b on the hub splines. He said if you don’t, you won’t get much life out of the splines. It was something to do with gold wings just a few years after they came out. It may be on wings only but he didn’t say that.
Watching your videos made me a lot more confident on removing my wheels off of my bike. I've got a 1988 Honda Shadow 1100, and she's pretty similar, but with drums in the back. Nonetheless, thanks for your video! It helped A LOT!
Merci pour cette vidéo qui montre bien le processus pour déposer et reposer la roue arrière sur une Honda Shadow... Je vais essayer de répéter l'opération sur ma 1100 C3 ACE de 2000 👍
Bob, your killing me. You even mention the proper torque specs. Awesome! I am replacing an engine for my 99 Honda Aero 1100. I need to get my back tire off the ground and remove the drive train. This way the engine goes in nicely. Then I can put the shaft in. I will use your method with the two jacks. Freaking RUclips and Google are awesome. Aren't they?
I cannot believe the motorcycle shop wants $250 for labor to do this. I change the front tire yesterday first time in my life easy as pie. Great video thanks
Thanks a LOT for sharing this video. I have a 1998 Honda Aero 1100 and it is the exact same procedure. The only difference I can see is that my tires have spokes while yours is a mag wheel. Everything else is exactly the same. I think that the Sabre 110, the Spirit 1100, the Ace 1100 and the Aero 1100 are almost identical bikes. Many parts are interchangeable between these bikes.
well this eases my mind, i have to replace the tire and bearings and wasn't looking forward to it because I figured I had to take the shaft drive out as well...
great video thank you for the help... I have a Honda Shadow 750 and when I need to remove the tire it helps a lot if you loosen up the two shock absorbers on top that will leave the swing arm much free ! just be careful not to let her go to law or else you might damage the gearbox the shaft Drive
Hi, I have an 02 VT1100C. After removing the wheel there is a collar sticking out a bit that inserts into the final drive before reassembly of the rear wheel. One end is shinier and slightly smaller than the other end and I need to be sure which end of the collar is to be inserted in the final drive before reinstalling the wheel. I think its the shinier end but want to be sure.
Want to say thanks man just got a 86 vt1100 going to build a buggy wanted to see inside the differential to make a sprocket adapter to run to another differential
Video was exactly what I neded, and my tire was worse. Esp. TY for torque values: 51ft-lb rear caliper pin, 19 ft-lb Pinch bolt, and 65 ft-lb rear axle nut. My Aero 1100 has a fancy 2-into-1 pipe, so I had to loosen two clamps, one hanger, and remove the rear section of pipe as well.
the only thing that I would add to this after I use your video to change my tire was that you might need something to keep your axle from spinning to get the nut off. I used a pair of needle-nose vice grips 2 clamp the axle down to hold it from spinning because I didn't have anything large enough to fit in the recessed hole on the axle. otherwise great job and thank you
Every bike,tire change, or job will be a little different. This video is just a guide and can be expanded upon by many people in different ways depending on their needs. I have not had the need to use anything like this. Thanks for watching. Happy riding.
To make the rear caliper easier to remove, press your palm against the pistons housing to push the pistons into the caliper. But be sure to pump up your rear brakes before your ride or you will have no rear brakes. Are you sure about tightening the pinch bolts before the axle nut?
Dave M You could push the piston out to make more room to remove the tire but I would recommend cleaning the area first especially around the bleeder area so that no dirt is sucked back into the brake system. The reason I tightened the pinch bolt first is so it would hold the axle in place so I could tighten the axle nut on the other side. It wouldn't hurt to loosen the pinch bolt back up once the axle nut is tight but then the whole tightening process would have to be re-done to the correct torque. Thanks
Thanks for the good video. I just would like to add that the gear box teeth need to be lubricated, its a special grease (can't remember but I think its high temp lithium)
Great tip Richard, The lubricant that should be used on the final driven flange gear is called molybdenum disulfide paste. It is designed for high pressure metal sliding against metal situations. Just make sure that the pins on the final driven flange do not get lubricated in any way because they should remain dry. Thanks
Nice video man, but I'm curious as to if you don't have to use some sort of grease inside the rim and shaft drive area? I mean maybe you just didn't mention that? Thinking about buying my wife a Phantom next week and the only thing I could find was that the rear tire needed to be changed. So I wanted to know exactly what should be done on it. My Boulevard gets cleaned and then greased so I was just wondering if the same happened on the Phantom.
Hi Bob. Just noticed that on the left side you are supporting the bike on the shaft drive housing. Is that strong enough to support the weight of the bike?
Good question. The majority of the weight is supported by the stack of boards that you see in front of the tire. The Jack stand/s are primarily to help balance so not very much weight is really on the housing. Thanks
funbro1 thanks. One other question. Shadows are typically pretty low to the ground. Did you have any issues getting the jack under the bike and getting it started to lift the bike? That stack of boards is pretty thick. Just wondering how you made all that work.
It was not an easy balancing act but with the help of someone to stable the bike it's not that bad. A regular floor jack fit under the bike with a little room to spare.
funbro1 that makes sense. So the last question I have is, since the jack was so tight getting under the bike, how did you manage to stack all those boards on top of it?
I had to actually stack the correct amount of boards and hold them against the underside of the bike while raising the jack until it lifted the bike. Be careful not to let the bike fall over.
Do you have a video for the front on the same bike ? Great video nice and clear and great info for someone like myself that is new to motorcycles - never worked on one !
Hi bob my rear axle nut on my bike is somewhat flat(the left side) and the right one is bulky but doesn’t seem to be able to be loosened because it looks to be all one solid piece connected to the axle I guess you could say. I’ve tried for days to get the left one off but I can’t everything slips off(it’s not rounded..yet) but I’ve tried metric 6 point as well as 12 points and this thing will not budge
The left side of the axel is the one with the nut and that nut should come off. It sounds like someone may have damaged the nut making it hard to remove. Worse case you may need to (carefully) cut it off, but it's hard to tell without seeing what your up against. Thanks for watching.
i have a very similar model. its the shadow vt1100t ace tourer. im assuming its all the same setup? i guess i could just google it. u have given me hope to change my own back tire thanks so much funbro!
cdbota82 If it's not exactly the same it should be similar. Just take your time and don't rush to get done...I know how that is from experiences :-). Thanks for watching.
Great video, you make it look so easy. I've spent quite a bit of time today trying to refit the rear wheel in my v65 honda magna. Man what a pain! For some reason the wheel won't come flush with the plastic cover on the rear final drive, I'm guessing the splines are not matching 100%, although the wheel spins nicely, this means I don't have room to refit the washers, collar and brake caliper hanger.. I've been trying to wiggle it to get it to seat properly but can't seem to win... is there a trick/knack to it? thank you in advance..
A couple questions. 1.What mileage are you getting from the 880? I see this video is a couple months old so, 2.how is the 888 doing and at what mileage? I have an '08 VTX1800N. The factory Dunlop tires, both front and rear, HAD to be replaced at 9k. I have been through a couple sets of 880's.I'm happy with them so far. I am getting approx. 13k on the rear and 16k on the front. I am due again and have been considering the 888. But being they are some what unproven I'm not sure.A couple buddies have gone to the Michelin Commander 2's and so far they seem to be a longer life tire.
With the 888 I haven't put that many miles on yet so it still remains to be seen how they will last. The place that I bought the tire said that the compound in the 888s was better that the older 880 model but we will see. I'll comment back here periodically with reviews after some riding. When I got the bike it had Dunlop tires on it, and by the end of the season I had to replace the rear. Not knowing how many miles were on the tires (Used bike) I replaced it with the same tire, Dunlop (partially because it was less expensive). By the end of the summer I was looking to replace it again, and the front tire as well. I had gotten about 7K and stretched it to 8K miles before I replaced it with the 880s. The 880s will give me about 14K miles on the rear and the front is still in excellent condition after 8K miles. Hopefully the 888 will do just as well or better. I have heard that the Michelin Commander 2's are good and a buddy of mine just put one on his bike so I'm going to see how that works for him as well. Happy riding.
Thanks, nice Job. Would this procedure be similar for a 2009 750 Spirit ? I watched a procedure someone else did on RUclips and all he did was point to the parts and said he took them off. Thanks again
+Dan Hoffman It should be about the same procedure. There may be a few different part here and there but the basics will be them same. Thanks for watching.
Any tips on cracking a stubborn axle nut? I've tried a pipe on the wrench, wd40 soak, kicking the wrench. I think it's just way over torqued, but it's possible it's crossed threaded or fused.
thanks. still no luck. I bought a ratchet and socket for it - and sprayed it with penetrating oil and hit it with a hammer. put all my weight into it - still wont budge!
is this DIY almost the same for a 2011 honda shadow phantom model? for the shadow phantom, the rear has the drum brakes, not a disc like your bike, is it easier or harder to remove the rear wheel with the drum brake at the rear wheel?
The steps will be similar to this video but the drum brake may be a little more difficult because the drum could get in the way of removal. Thanks for watching.
8/09/14...MC mechanics ...I'm in my Cave trying to remove the rear axle nut on my Honda Shadow. I done put 24" of cheat on it and it won't break...What do I do next? It's 90 deg F and I'm sweatin' . If I rosebud heat it I'm sure I'm gonna screw something up.
I have never had a problem getting the axle nut off the bike before. You could try using an impact driver or using some penetrating lube and letting it sit awhile. It's possible that the person that put it on used too much torque I guess? Good luck
I have 04 honda shadow 1100 is the rear disk a DIY job or something that needs to be done professionally since it is right there when taking the rim off?
On the 02 year model the rear disc is really easy. All it takes is a 6mm hex key to remove 6 bolts holding the disc on. I say if you have the wheel off the bike that the hardest part is already done. Thanks
funbro1 Well its been 1 months since my question. And Today my dad and I finally tackled the job. We started at 10 am and finished at 2pm. Thanks for this video it really made this job seem really easy. My dad was very impressed and wanted me to tell you it was very well made. Thanks again!
got the same bike and let me tell you i do not like the rims specially the front rim, see i live in new york and some parkways are just wind tunnel wind come from either side and since the rinm is almost solid the wind push the bike to either side the wind come from
Hey bob I know this is old but i hope you get this ,so it took 5 to 10 minutes with out video editing and you didn't have to touch the shaft at all ? I'm confuse now cause Stubbs Honda just charged me 90$ for this 5 min video I'm pissed
It takes a little longer then the video to do by the time all the tools are gathered up and everything is finished. There was some video editing done in this video just to keep it as interesting as possible. Hope this helps, Thanks for watching.
If that was $90 to fully change the tire, you got off cheap. Even if it was just $90 to R&R the wheel, that isn't bad. Shop rate of $90 hr isn't really out of the ballpark. Pretty sure my mechanic charges $85hr, which is why I try to use him as little as possible.
I strongly dislike the stock rims. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this.when riding the rims are very prone.to catch any crosswinds.makes the bike ride.very interesting to say the least when it’s windy. I want to change the stock rims. I don’t want or need anything fancy.just something that’ll let air pass through.without the previous affect. I can’t be the only one to experience this wind catching.with the stock rims.
The bike is so heavy that I have not experienced this myself. I do feel the wind but don’t primarily attribute that to the rims. Thanks for watching, happy riding.
Thumbs down... you forgot to mention that the pinion gear might remain stuck on the differential side making it almost impossible to remove the tire..i struggled ! Emptied the air from the tire...finally i realized the problem..Damn i should have watched more videos on this and would of avoided scratching the rim so much 😡
Thumbs down on your comment. When doing this work some mechanical knowledge is required. As many times as I have removed this wheel and others like it I have never run into an issue. Sorry you scratched up the rim, hopefully it will buff out. Thanks for the view.
@@funbro1 yea !"mechanical knoledge"..well for me that was the embarrassing part...i worked as a forklift mechanic for more then 30yr and i didnt think that pinion hub was suppose to come out with the rim. Anyway it is worth mentioning so that this wont happen to anybody else...Got the new tire on today...it was easy ! Put some grease on the pinion..installed on the rim..then on the differential 😂😂💪🏼👍
Hands down the best tutorial i have found. Straight to the point, all the info you could need, tools, and even torque specs. Great job!
I know this is a 9 year old video but sir you are amazing. The 1100 is my first bike and watching this video helped me a lot!!!
Do you have an awesome first bike. I do have a few more videos on the same bike that you might find useful in the future. Happy riding.
Finally a decent video on how to deal with wheel removal on a shaft driven bike. Thanks for the adequate lighting, camera angles, and explanation of the steps. Haven't found a better video yet for this process.
Thanks for the kind words, glad the video helped you.
Thx 4 the vid
Thanks for keeping it simple. First time I've had to change tires. Appreciate it
No problem 👍
This has got to be the best video of changing a Shadow tire EVER!! thank you so much.
Wow, thanks!

Thanks so much for your videos have used them to help me change both front and back pads and remove both wheels for new tires... Good stuff !
Awesome! Happy riding and Thanks for watching.
oh man you killing me here, really using a cresent wrench to tighten the axle
No, why?
Hey... this is the future. Wth are you talking about?
😂 I know, I howled when I saw him "torque" the axle nut with a monkey wrench.
well this eases my mind, i have to replace the tire and bearings and wasn't looking forward to it because I figured I had to take the shaft drive out as well...
Thanks, Happy riding.
great video thank you for the help... I have a Honda Shadow 750 and when I need to remove the tire it helps a lot if you loosen up the two shock absorbers on top that will leave the swing arm much free ! just be careful not to let her go to law or else you might damage the gearbox the shaft Drive
Thanks for the comment and Thanks for watching.
what do you mean by law?
OMG thank you I was starting to feel dumb trying to get it off 😂
thank you Bob, will give this a go this weekend!

Hey Mrs.Bob, you're great sir, that's how make a video how to. thumbs up bro =)
Thanks for watching.
Wow thank YOU! This intimidated me
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching.
Still waiting to see how you took the tire off and mount the new one
No need to wait just watch this video. Thanks ruclips.net/video/6q8CNv6QZJ0/видео.html
Thanks for the quick reply! Dan
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Hey Bob, Nice video, thanks! Is that a 27MM Rear Axle Nut?? Can't seem to find any definitive answer.
Not sure, I have always used an adjustable.
Thanks for watching.

Do you have to mark the spines on the shaft? Like on a cars drive shaft

@@funbro1 Hi Bob, I’m a new rider and your videos are fantastic. I’ve subscribed. You are so generous, thanks again.
Awesome, happy and safe riding.
the axel nut on my tire is so damn tight - having a very hard time getting it to even budge - hopefully it comes loose here in a minute.
You may want to soak it with penetrating oil for a while then lightly tap on it with a hammer. Good luck to you. Thanks for watching.
thanks. still no luck. I bought a ratchet and socket for it - and sprayed it with penetrating oil and hit it with a hammer. put all my weight into it - still wont budge!
I finally got it - with the help of a pipe extension.
Shouldn't anything get grease before the install? Would thing it's a good time to grease the bearings or something.
Now would be a good time to grease all the pertinent points. Thanks for watching.

I have never had a problem getting the axle nut off the bike before. You could try using an impact driver or using some penetrating lube and letting it sit awhile. It's possible that the person that put it on used too much torque I guess?
Good luck
Very happy I found this year's later lol
Glad you liked it, happy riding.
I have 04 honda shadow 1100 is the rear disk a DIY job or something that needs to be done professionally since it is right there when taking the rim off?
On the 02 year model the rear disc is really easy. All it takes is a 6mm hex key to remove 6 bolts holding the disc on. I say if you have the wheel off the bike that the hardest part is already done. Thanks
thanks for the reply! Ill be referencing this video when we tackle this job!
Good luck and happy riding.
funbro1 Well its been 1 months since my question. And Today my dad and I finally tackled the job. We started at 10 am and finished at 2pm. Thanks for this video it really made this job seem really easy. My dad was very impressed and wanted me to tell you it was very well made. Thanks again!

Glad to hear it's done. Hopefully it wasn't too painful :-)
Thanks Bob!
Thanks for the view
How difficult should it be to get the axle out? Ive been beating on it but it isnt budging
It should not be that difficult, you have something else going on.
Thanks for watching.
is there an easier way to replace the reserve radiator tank without removing the swing arm? i have a 95 honda shadow 1100
Not that I'm not familiar with.
Thanks Bob...
Really good video.
+thepowersportschanne Thanks for watching
you are most welcome
are the steps the same if i have a rear drum brake?
The steps are basically the same with the exception of the break area. Happy riding and thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.
BUENISIMOOOOOO
got the same bike and let me tell you i do not like the rims specially the front rim, see i live in new york and some parkways are just wind tunnel wind come from either side and since the rinm is almost solid the wind push the bike to either side the wind come from
Thanks for watching.
I dig it thanks
Thank you.
great video ,....Thanks
+jeff c Thanks for watching.
so, these bikes do not have a chain?
Not on the 1100. The 1100 is shaft drive but the 750 is a chain.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks bob!
Hopefully the video helped...Happy riding.
What size allen key fits the axle pin?
Big, Try a 16mm. Thanks for watching.
Hey bob I know this is old but i hope you get this ,so it took 5 to 10 minutes with out video editing and you didn't have to touch the shaft at all ? I'm confuse now cause Stubbs Honda just charged me 90$ for this 5 min video I'm pissed
It takes a little longer then the video to do by the time all the tools are gathered up and everything is finished. There was some video editing done in this video just to keep it as interesting as possible. Hope this helps, Thanks for watching.
funbro1
So an hour? And was charged 90$ what you think too much ? I wanted to yell at them
Nate Silva I would not have paid that price, but that’s me.
funbro1
Then Tx Stubbs Honda is going to get a ear full
If that was $90 to fully change the tire, you got off cheap. Even if it was just $90 to R&R the wheel, that isn't bad. Shop rate of $90 hr isn't really out of the ballpark. Pretty sure my mechanic charges $85hr, which is why I try to use him as little as possible.
Thank you!
Glad you liked it.
I strongly dislike the stock rims. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this.when riding the rims are very prone.to catch any crosswinds.makes the bike ride.very interesting to say the least when it’s windy. I want to change the stock rims. I don’t want or need anything fancy.just something that’ll let air pass through.without the previous affect. I can’t be the only one to experience this wind catching.with the stock rims.
The bike is so heavy that I have not experienced this myself. I do feel the wind but don’t primarily attribute that to the rims.
Thanks for watching, happy riding.
exelent
can i have them used tires?
Sure
Ну вот,а как менял резину,так и не показал.
What were you looking for?

Thanks for watching.
Thumbs down... you forgot to mention that the pinion gear might remain stuck on the differential side making it almost impossible to remove the tire..i struggled ! Emptied the air from the tire...finally i realized the problem..Damn i should have watched more videos on this and would of avoided scratching the rim so much 😡
Thumbs down on your comment. When doing this work some mechanical knowledge is required. As many times as I have removed this wheel and others like it I have never run into an issue. Sorry you scratched up the rim, hopefully it will buff out. Thanks for the view.
@@funbro1 yea !"mechanical knoledge"..well for me that was the embarrassing part...i worked as a forklift mechanic for more then 30yr and i didnt think that pinion hub was suppose to come out with the rim. Anyway it is worth mentioning so that this wont happen to anybody else...Got the new tire on today...it was easy ! Put some grease on the pinion..installed on the rim..then on the differential 😂😂💪🏼👍
Thanks a lot! Removed and put back the wheel with ease.
