Yes this was talked about a few weeks ago. IM going to try to take the rear wheel off soon to change tires. This will be my first time sounds like taking off the rear wheel is easy is that true?

once the axel is all the way out they say theres a drop of play to slip the belt off and leave the adjusters alone. But it sounds like it be hard to put back the axel Im sure it would be easyer if the adjusters were lose but I will give it a shot soonand find out for myself.

its not hard.just tap the axle back through with a dead blo hammer or use a hammer and block of wood.if you can get a friend to help you it will be alot easier.be sure to put a coat of anti-seize on the axle before you send it back through.

I swapped out my entire pulley and the instruction sheet highly recommended replacing the pulley bolts and the instructions spec'd out red loctite.

Make sure you use quality bolts. Some of the cheaper chromed bolts have been known to snap. Will ruin your day.
