I do in person classes at Skidmark Garage in Cleveland Ohio. You can take classes in 101 Motorcycle maintenance, carburetors, motorcycle electrical systems, suspension repair, basics of Mig welding, and specialty tools. In addition, I have an engine building class that S&S Cycle sponsors. They support the grassroots crowd, by sending me two warranty return engines, that people can disassemble, and reassemble, to help them build confidence before tearing into their own engine.

Great video, first time taking off the wheels so I ran through a lot of videos and pdf versions of owners manual. I’m glad you posted the torque specs for the caliper bolts too. Anyway, great stuff, thanks again.

[@KnobleMoto]

You are welcome. I am glad it helped.

[@1022wade]

Great instructional video. Thanks man!

Nice video !

[@KnobleMoto]

Thank you.

[@mattmatthews3909]

Great tip on the sharpie. Always forget the easy things!!

[@KnobleMoto]

Thank you. It’s good for quick inspections too.

[@russreynolds649]

You have the exact same torque wrench that I have. They last forever 😊

[@KnobleMoto]

Never needs calibration! 😂😂😂😂

[@coreybabson2540]

Great video I do have a question though what is the torque specs for the axle nut in the torque specs for the caliper bolts?

[@KnobleMoto]

Thanks. On the 05 it is 50-54 foot pounds for the front axle nut. For the caliper bolts 28-38 foot pounds. But in the caliper bolts I take a black marker and put a little dot at 12 o'clock on the bolt after I torque them. This way if they are backing out, I will be able to see it when I do a walk around of the bike.

[@robertmacdonald2735]

Great vid...helped a lot...question - what brand of tire is that?

[@KnobleMoto]

That was either a Dunlop Q4 or Bridgestone Battle-ax.

[@KnobleMoto]

And thank you.

[@ddonlyme5860]

Hi Steve, I have a Brembo calliper for my single disc set up. It doesn’t work with the lattice wheel, could you let me know what the rotor clearance is on your Dyna from the inside to the cast spokes?

[@KnobleMoto]

Sorry. I don’t own that bike anymore.

[@jvera718]

Do you know what size sockets you need for front wheel?

[@KnobleMoto]

3/8 Allen and a 3/4 or 7/8 wrench for the nut.

[@jvera718]

Thank you!

[@KnobleMoto]

@@jvera718 you’re welcome

[@marcmondragone8649]

What about the groove marks on the spacers. For what I know it has to be considered if they should go facing to the wheel or facing out of the wheel

[@KnobleMoto]

I do not recall seeing any special groove marks. I looked up mages of new spacers, and i do not see anything there either. However next time I put a tire on, I will check it out.

[@charliebuck697]

I have been told the grooves or lines go to the outside.

[@hertmybrane8896]

First time Harley owner and I just noticed the hole on the axel. Does that serve any purpose other than making extraction easier? Kinda freaked me out as I noticed it at a stop about 20 miles from home and was worried something fell out. Now I see it's fine but can't find any explanation for what that hole is for.

[@KnobleMoto]

Extraction, and you can put a large dowel through it if you had to hold it in place to get the axle nut free. The pinch bolt SHOULD hold the axle, but not guaranteed.

[@hertmybrane8896]

@@KnobleMoto Huge thanks and great vid!

[@jcroce2926]

Is that a 2000+ mag wheel on a 99 fxdx front end?

[@KnobleMoto]

Sorta. It is that mag. This is on an 05 FXD, and I bought a lower slider for an FXDX. I swapped out the internals and bolted a new rotor to the wheel.

[@KnobleMoto]

Here is the video. th-cam.com/video/gJOfKjpqOwo/w-d-xo.html

[@jcroce2926]

@@KnobleMoto ok nice i appreciate that. I have an 01 superglide. Bought a 99fxdx front end. I know i have to get caliper adapters and run 11.5 rotors but im wondering if a dual disc 2000 mag wheel will bolt up to a 99 front end spacing it out and what not

[@KnobleMoto]

@@jcroce2926 your welcome. I would compare wheel bearing part numbers. If they are the same, the axle size is the same and the install should be easy.

[@spoonyfork]

Snug up
Torque down

[@KnobleMoto]

That's a good name for a song.

[@jeffkraus1457]

bit a Loctite on them threads...

[@KnobleMoto]

No need for thread locker. Just torque to spec. Thread locker builds up inside the threads, and then you have to clean it out next time.
