Since I blew a tube an hour from home this weekend, I find myself preparing to tackle this task tonight in my car port for the first time. I have the Snidal manual, but does anyone have any special insight on pulling the rear wheel from a 2011 B5? Seems to be the standard wheel, but mine seems different from the examples in the manual.
As for the general job, I think I have the basic gist of it:
-Pull the brake rod adjuster nut, brake lock nut, 24mm castle nut and 30mm main nut, break the chain (will the pins push out easily or do I need a chain break tool big enough for a moto chain??) and pull the wheel, then proceed to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the tire irons and rim.
-Rip out a valve stem or two and pinch-flat a tube before getting a tube finally in place and partially inflated, then realize the tube slipped and valve stem is out of alignment, pull it out and do it again.
-Rip most of my knuckle skin off and spend the remainder of the evening applying afterbite to the mosquito feasted skin that was exposed during combat.
Am I missing anything, or is this about what I can expect?
