Motorcycles Rotor & Brake Replacement: Front Wheel Stand

Video Transcript

"Alright in this section we're going to show you how to put a front wheel stand on the bike, so that we could take the tire off. The first thing we need to do is remove these, out two, the outer two bolts on each side of the Shock. So, in this case it's a 10mm, just go on here, loosen it up. You might want to use one of these when working on bikes, metal tray, keep all your bolts together, take this side off. Now the reason I took those bolts off is because there's actually a hole down here that the prongs on the stand are going to fit in. When these bolts are in there, it impedes the, the little dudads right there to go inside. So what we're going to do is get this moved right here, and get this thing on the stand right now. There it is, and then what you want to do after you get it up on the stand like this, is you want to go and make sure that these are all seated nice and flat, it's not half way sticking in and out, because this is the most dangerous part of the whole installation. When you, once you get this wheel off, there's nothing stopping this whole bike from falling over and just crushing the front end, but this stand. So at all times, through the whole install, you must make sure that this, this is all right. If this ever starts to move, or anything, you're going to need to figure out a way just to stop it from happening. What I like to do is, I take a jack and I put it right under here, under the Headers and that'll stop it just in case anything happens."
