Don't want to screw anything up from the beginning, so can someone give some step by step instructions. I searched on You tube, but the 2006 KLX I have looks different than anything I found

Thanks

 

There's four 10mm bolts holding that plate that keeps the axle tight. Loosen those.

Then remove the axle- I wanna say it's 14mm but could be wrong.

Done. If it takes you more than two minutes, you're doing something wrong.

Be careful when you tighten those four nuts again - they will snap the studs easily if you over tighten them.

Good luck, this is about the easiest thing you can do on the bike. If you can breath, you can do this..

 

Figured it out pretty easily, but let me know if there is anything I should look for when putting it back on after I get the tire changed.

Thanks again

 

Just make sure your brake pads are spread and the disc goes in between them.

Make sure the spacer is on the left side. Make sure the speedo sensor gear/assembly is on correct, there is a knotch that fits between two knotches on the fork.

That's about it..

 

Thanks guys...really helped.

 

Here's a good article on the 'importance' of front wheel installation MTBJunkie if you want to get all technical. I think this is what you were looking for...

Just keep taking nuts and bolts off untill the wheel falls off....
