DB7 Rear Wheel R&R

Perhaps I'm spoiled by single-sided swingarms.....

Anyway I was fussing with installing the rear DB7 wheel tonight,
and the clearances are quite tight making the job seamingly impossible.

Of course the owners manual says; "Pull axle - remove wheel... Reverse to replace" Thanks.

Well, if you remove the left side chain adjuster, there is just enough clearance to make removal and especially installation a lot easier.
After everthing is lined up, you just wind the adjuster back in past the spacer.

Good excuse to remove, clean, and admire some bits too.

If it make You feel any better, things are also tight in the Santa Monica swing arm world.

You showed me yours....

It may have gone easier if I had a lift-table that permitted more downward movement of the wheel. Some day.....
