rear wheel removal
could someone please outline how to remove the front and rear wheels. I need to change some tires this week. I did find some threads that weren't really complete. I know I need a 46 mm socket and a single sided stand. I have the stand already and the socket is on order. Thanks in advance. I apologize if my search wasn't as good as necessary.

Rear wheel; place stand on left side of bike, remove locking clip from nut, remove nut and lift off wheel. Very simple.
Front wheel; raise front of bike off ground, unbolt both brake calipers and support them some way. Do not let them hang from the brake hoses!  Loosen left side allen pinch bolts and remove axle nut. Loosen right side pinch bolts, remove axle and wheel. It's all very simple and you will be getting a lot of practice if you love your HM as much as I do.

that sounds much easier than my previous bikes. Do you worry about the chain or anything?

I just took my rear wheel off for the first time earlier this week. What a pleasure compared to every other bike I've ever dealt with. It took me about 2 minutes total taking it off and putting it back on.

No. It'sjust like removing a car wheel.:

I've got a double sided axle nut wrench (speedymoto), and super easy removal. Good thing too, as this thing eats rears.

Tickwomp, in the close-up picture it looks like you have your speeymoto tool on an impact gun, if so, is it electric or air, do you use it to remove and install? any issues with using an impact on the rear wheel nuts?

The impact driver is air powered. The speedymoto tool rocks! It's very close tolerance and doesn't seem to mar the nuts. That said, I only use it to loosen nuts. I never use air to tighten.
