The axle enters from the disc brake side through a collar (washer with a cut out on it, axle adjuster bolts sits in cut out), through the swing arm, through the plain spacer, then through the wheel, then through the spacer that has a type of grouve in the middle of it, through the swing arm and finally through another collar, then a washer and finally the axle nut. Nut torque is 60 - 65 ft/lbs. Do not exceed 65 ft/lbs or wheel bearing damage will occur.

SOURCE: rear wheel spacer placement?

Take great care on reassembly ,as the spacers may be of diffrent lenghts which will if put back wrongly will throw the wheel off its true running centre .and cause problems .Allway remember to mark parts or do a drawing when removing and stripping down for repair or servicing ..It saves a great deal of problems .Try and assemble the spacers and look to see if the wheel is in line with the belt drives .

SOURCE: what is the sequence of putting spacers on rear

Not much on newer hogs but I'd guess if the spacers aren't the same length when you got the wheel on you'd see that the wheel isn't centered.Try again.Put the end thru the swing arm put on a spacer,push it thru the hub,put on the other spacer,push it thru swing arm put on washers and nut[loosely]and check the alaignment.Like I said I'm not much.

Testimonial: "Your suggestion was very helpful. Thanks! "

SOURCE: i need to know rear wheel spacer placement. also

The wheel not being equally spaced under the fender is typical of all Softail motorcycles. They have an "offset" wheel stance. I don't know exactly why but they are designed this way.

The three spacers you are talking about is actually one spacer and two seal races. The two seal races go into the wheel bearing seals on either side of the wheel. This provides a smooth finish for the wheel bearing seals to ride on. The other "spacer" is a bit larger and goes on the belt side of the wheel and the rear brake caliper bracket acts as the spacer on the other side. Anytime you take the wheels off your bike, always mark and make a drawing of the positions of the spacers.

Good Luck
Steve

What is the front wheel spacer placement on 2005 flht

Install or place the wheel into position between the forks with the valve stem on the right side of the vehicle. THEN coat the axle with bearing grease. THEN while supporting the wheel, insert the threaded end of the axle through the right fork leg and push it through the fork, the short external spacer and the wheel hub until it begins to emerge from the left side. THEN with the three notches on the bearing side, push the axle through the long external spacer and the left fork leg until the axle shoulder contacts the external spacer on the right fork side. THEN install the flat washer, lock washer and axle nut. THEN insert a screwdriver or a steel rod through the hole in the axle on the right side of the motorcycle AND THEN while holding axle stationary tighten the axle nut to 50-55 ft-lbs (68-75 Nm). THEN insert a 7/16 inch drill bit into the hole in the axle and pull the fork leg so that it just contacts the drill bit, and then tighten the axle holder nuts to 132-180 in-lbs or (14.9-20.3 Nm). THEN remove the drill bit from the axle hole. THEN install the brake caliper tightening the mounting bolts to 28-38 ft-lbs or (37.9-51.5 Nm). THEN BEFORE moving the motorcycle, pump the front brake hand lever until the caliper pistons push the pads against the brake discs because if the pads have not been hydraulically pushed out against the brake disk the brakes will not work when they are first attempted to be applied. SO, depress front brake hand lever several times to set the brake pads to the proper operating position within caliper before you attempt to move or ride the motorcycle.

Service manual

secure the bike on a jack or lifting device sufficient to get the wheel out from under the fender. remove two 8mm allen head bolts holding the rear brake caliper to its bracket. remove the 17mm headed bolt that secures the bracket to the swingarm. remove the cotterpin and axle nut and remove the axle from the l/h side. note the caliper bracket and a wheel spacer placement as they will fall as the axle is removed. Exhuast system removal or movement for ample working room may be necessary depending on system type. Reassemble in reverse order.

How do I get the rear tire off of my 1999 heritage softtail classic.

Jack the bike up off the ground. Remove the axle nut and the belt guards. You might want to loosen the belt tensioning bolts and allow the front wheel to move forwards just a bit. Drive the axle out. You may have to take your muffler off so the axle will come out. When you put the axle back in, start from the left side of the bike and have the nut behind the muffler. Make sure you mark and make a drawing of what spacer goes where. You should have three as best as I can remember. One is a long spacer and two short ones. The short ones go in the wheel bearings and the long one goes on the belt pulley side. Lower the wheel and allow it to roll forward a bit. Jack the bike up a bit higher and work the drive belt off the drive pulley. Tip the wheel over and jack the bike up until you can get the wheel out.

good Luck

Removal of rear wheel

Take the nut off the rear axle and loosen the belt adjustments just a little. The axle slides out unless your exhaust system is in the way then you'll have to remove the muffler or whatever to get it out. If this is the case, put the axle in from the other direction when reinstalling it. Make sure mark all spacers as to where they go or make a drawing so you don't get confused. If you reverse the axle, the spacers go back in the same position.

When you reinstall the rear wheel, tension the rear belt to the proper tension with both of the adjuster bolts about the same length. Measure both of them. This keeps the wheel aligned properly in the swingarm. Torque the rear axle to 60 foot pounds.

Good luck

Trying to remove rear wheel

Raise the rear wheel off the ground making sure that the bike is properly supported and will not fall. Remove the nut from the end of the axle. Loosen the rear wheel adjusters and get some slack in the final drive belt. Continue to drive the axle out. Once the axle is out, the wheel will drop down and you can work the belt off the wheel and get the wheel out from under the bike. Make sure you mark any spacers that are in the wheel so you can get them back in their proper location.

When reassembling the wheel, first work the belt over the rear pulley. Then insert the spacers in their proper locations. Lift the wheel and carefully work the rotor back between the brake pads. You may have to sure a screwdriver to open up the pads enough to get the rotor started back between the pads. Insert the axle and work it back through the brake caliper bracket, spacers and the wheel. Install the nut loosely on the end of the axle.

Readjust the final drive belt tension making sure you keep the rear wheel in proper alignment with the bike. Once the final drive belt is properly tensioned, tighten the nut to 50 foot pounds of torque. Spin the wheel and check for proper rotation. Check the brakes prior to riding the bike. Good Luck.

Placement of jack beneath solstice

the best place for floor jacks is either under the rear axle or on the spot where you would place your OEM jack that came with the car your owners manual should have a diagram that shows you where these spots are.
