Rebel 1100 Rear wheel removal & installation

Rebel 1100 Rear wheel removal & installation

Some of us are getting close to needing new tires, especially in the rear. I did a practice run since I’m at 7,500 miles and will be needing new tires soon. I hope this helps!
I urge you to place painter’s tape on your rim, otherwise you will scratch it.
If you have the stock exhaust, you will need to remove it or rotate it out of the way.

P.S. I can’t recommend the Air Shim highly enough, the process was a PITA without it the first time.

Disclaimer: I am not a trained mechanic, It’s best to have the dealership perform the work. You could risk damage to your bike, injury or worse.
