1981 KL250 front wheel removal
Hi,
I know that can sound like a dumb question. How do I remove the front wheel from an KL250 with front drum brake. I know the theory, I had a KLE400 with disk brakes and a KLR600 with drum only on the rear. My problem is that I can't find a way to disconnect the cable from the drum so I ended-up today trying all kind of strange movements to get the drum off the wheel while i was holding the wheel with the other hand, but without success. So I put the wheel back searched old friend google but no luck. Anyway, this bike, as simple as it is, tends to be a pain in the ass when comes to repairing including removing the swing arm to change the chain :thumbdown: if you do the stupid thing to order an original kit with chain, sprocket and wheel and the chain is as the original ... closed. Thanks for any advices |
Ok, problem solved, old school, hammer, brute force and cable cutter are my friends
Now another problem removing the swing-arm, looks like the big axle is stuck and does not want to move from there even with a hammer. Ideas are welcome |

Thank you, I will make some pics tomorrow. I am afraid that the rust inside the swingarm is responsible for it.
