"Hi my name is Drew Neilon from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in Little River. I work at Beach Customs and today I'm going to show you how to change and maintain a tire for Expert Village. First off I'm going to take off this spacer here, put it here and what I'm doing, see how the tire is loose right here that means I have enough weight off the swing arm and the tire itself so I can punch through the axle now knowing that it's free. So now I'm going to try to tap the axle out. I got it to the point where I use my brass punch. And as I'm punching it through, I'm keeping an eye on the inner spacers by the chain rotor. I'm going to punch it through. And just give it a little tug and it'll come out freely with the spacer. Keep this spacer on this side of the bike know that this spacer will go back in the same exact spot. "
