Motorcycle Rotor & Brake Replacement: Install Front Wheel

Video Transcript

"Alright, now that we've got our brake pads all brand new, switched out, rotors all done and installed correctly, we're going to put the wheel back on. Now when you put wheel back on, all you have got to do is look at this tire, and if you look right here, you can see this arrow, it says "rotation". The arrow's the way the wheel spins, so, right there rotation says this way, so just going to go ahead and get this all ready right there. Go ahead and remove our axle that we put in there for safety. Grab it by the spoke, and there it is, and then you just want to push the axle pin all the way in because it actually seats itself. It's not going to go any further, so just put that in, make sure it's good, go ahead and give the wheel a spin. Wheel looks good, wheel's installed properly, that means that you can go ahead and take the other side nut, go ahead and tighten this. This is basically the same process, it's just backwards this time. Nice and tight. Next step that we're going to do is we're going to tighten these two ten millimeter bolts and that will lock down the axle, same on the other side. That's good, and then we're the going to reinstall the break rotors."
