Question
How do I remove the rear tire of my 1999 heritage softtail classic?

Answer
Start by jacking the bike up so there is no weight on the tire. remove the nut on the axle and slide the axle out. You might have to remove the exhaust if it is in the way. Once the axle is out, slide the wheel foward and remove the belt. Keep jacking the bike up until you can get the wheel out.
Good luck and happy riding
