hey all, can yall help me out? Can somebody give me the instructions on taking off the rear wheel of my V10 w/floater? its the thru axle one. just got it the other day, and need some help. thanks

first uscrew the axel pinch bolt and then unthread the axel, the axel will pull out and the wheel will be free, its pretty basic

hammer-time

If its anything like it is on my 222ibs then its a pretty tricky prodecure

does the axle unthread counterclockwise(looking at the end of it towards the drive side) i think mines just really tight, just dont want to strip out the threads or anything. how do you get the floating brake arm off the wheel. there arent any bolts on the actual hub/floater intercept. thanks for any help.

Be sure to loosen the pinchbolt on the non drive side first.

unscrew the axle just like any other bolt...counter clockwise...then.........
HIT IT WITH A HAMMER
just keep tapping on the axle and ull see how the floater isnt attatched to the wheel itself.it just rests on the axle.

if u cant figure it out from there take it to the shop. :nuts:

ok i got it. guess its just really tight. didnt want to hurt my precious v10!!

Unscrew it counter clockwise & ONLY once the threads are undone can you hit it with a hammer...gently.
