Answer
You need to jack up the bike. remove the rear axle and let the tire drop down. Now remove the belt from the tire. Jack up the bike high enough to get the tire out. The spacers will drop out. You will have to take the tire somewhere to have it removed from the rim. Personnally I dont repair motorcycle tires. remember, you only have two tires ont he road. I get a new one. Install in reverse and your set to go.
Good luck and happy riding
