Don't know many of you have actually changed a back tire yet but, Wow. Talk about a dogs breakfast. Sorry but I'm used to the Beamer. 5 bolts, wheel out. On my S10, disconnect ABS sensor, disconnect the rear brake arm bracket at front and back, undo axel nut and tap out the axel from the left,kind of stiff cause grease is so expensive in Japan. Slide out the rear brake caliper, jiggle the rear wheel off the shaft drive unit. Oops all the cush drive rubbers fall out and the unit that holds them in place falls to the ground. Fiddle trying to get all back together after putting new tire on the rim.. I siliconed the rubbers in, so hopefully they'll stay in place next time. Lining up the gear on the wheel to the shaft drive is a little finiky too. Easiest way is to insert the axel without the rear brake caliper attached and then gently mesh it in. Then remove the axel and get that caliper and washer in place. The wheel will stay up in place as you remove the axel. Will go a lot faster next time. Have fun! ::001::
