    Howdy Folks,

    Iv recently had a 103ci S/Eagle motor built for my 07 Softail.

    Its been tuned quite rich and has been blowing some dirty black junk out the exhaust.

    Needless to say the rear of the bike is rather filthy and in need of a polish, espicially the rear wheel.

    Rear wheel is the solid 200 wide deuce wheel. It was originally polished but now resmebles a shadow chrome look, lol.

    Its in dire need of a good polish. Very hard to get in behind the brake assembely.

    Best way to do would be to take the wheel off ?

    Looks straight foward.... Is it ?

    Marks those adjustment bolts ? Then loosen.

    Remove axle and then belt etc etc ?

    All advice appreciated....

    Haad a 2001 Softail with a Duece rear wheel. Had to take the brake assembly off with the wheel as the calipers will not get past the rim. Fixed the problem with Deuce brake assembly which is machined differerntly to the Softail.
    So disconnect the brake line, slide out the axle and take wheel and calipers off as one. The only way to get the calipers off is undo your brake disc.
