Place bike on main stand and weight down rear end by placing toolbox on pillion seat.

Remove fork spindle clamp bolt and then unscrew spindle whilst supporting wheel. When fully unscrewed, remove spindle and gently let front wheel drop down.

Stick a bit of wood between front brake pads. Do NOT squeeze front brake.

To remove/ replace tyre.

Put wheel in boot of car and taking to authorised tyre replacement dealer.

Refitting is reverse of removal, but with some extra grease.

Are you sure?

I'm not doubting you, but my Kymco has a small allen key for the clamp bolt and a much larger one for the spinde.
