Changing rear brake disc M796

[jonzi]

Evening.

I have cooked by rear disc, caliper, pads, fluid, the lot.

So I need to change it.

To get the rear disc off, it looks like you have to take the hub out. But how do I do this if it's a single sided swingarm? The paddock stand I have goes in from the chain side, but this side has the nut on that keeps the hub in place.

On my 600ss I have had the bike on axle stands on the rearsets, but it is quite a bit lighter.

Should I just do this?

you'll need some engine brackets :)

A sky hook can help too. Easiest way is to support the engine/frame. If you have front footrests that pivot then invert them by turning them upside down and then car axle stands underneath and you can do what you will removing anything from the swingarm.

Yeah I should get the Ill President to knock me some up.

I think I will go with the axle stands for now though.

Abba stand would work too
