Motorcycle Repair: front wheel removal, fender rail, brake calipers


Question
I bought a chrome front fender rail for my 2006 V-star classic.
I would like to remove the front wheel to make it easier to get it on. Do you have to remove the brake calipers or will the front wheel slide off after removing the axle. Or could you explain how it is done.

Answer
Hi Jim,

I don't have the service manual for this model.

Visit the following link and click to page 6-37 to view wheel removal technique.
