dr650 front wheel removal
Hey all-- a super noob question for you. I am about to replace a worn front tire with a new one, but I cant' figure out how to get my wheel off. I have the downloaded service manual, and from that I was able to take off the 4 bolts and plate that hold the axel to the fork. That side is free, but I cant remove the other side or get the axel out. Am I missing a special tool to do this with? I think a previous owner had put these bumper things on the ends of the axel. they spin freely and I don' know what to do from here. My manual doesn't seem to be of help.
Side note- with the wheel axel separated from the left fork tube, I am able "hinge" or rotate the attached part of the wheel to the side. I wonder If this means my forks aren't secured properly. This is my first time doing this so thanks for the heads up!
