all right so much we had to replace the front tire on a Ducati yes to our right now was it back - I already off and I have this stand I took a normal car jack and I was jacked up one side of the front all the way to the top and I put a cinder block underneath the other side and that's what's keeping the tire off the ground though so that one stand a lot of time working on this bike we're gonna do right now is we're gonna loosen up these two bolts here and these two bolts here on this side which kind of release the grip on the axle then we're gonna remove this nut this nut here is a 28 millimeter and these nuts right here are 12 millimeter so I'll take off the CalPERS right here to do it takes a size 8 allen wrench on these two bolts right there I'm taking this off this one does have the steel braided brake lines so it should be fine just hang in here but if you're really nervous about it you can zip tie it up so I'm on the outside just to kind of help support its own weight and not hurt anything good idea because when you're pulling a tire out it's gonna hit it up anyway I just want to go ahead and zip-tie mine right outside of here so the axle was taken out a little bit just took a rubber mallet and let it Bend from this side and then this side you can lift the wheel up a little bit it should be able to pull it out whether it by hand or by some pliers or something you just really don't want to damage this edge we'll do this I'll grab like a wooden dowel or like a broom handle and like stick it right here and just kind of pound away at it at the end of it to push it all the way through really helps if you have two people some pull the axle out make sure not to like let it lay completely on the ground you don't want to get like dust and grime and stuff up on you here and I'll show you how to put a new axle grease looks like this one hardly any grease on there at all I'll fit the new axle grease on there before we put it back yet there's the tires get to come out and depending on your shop you might need to take off these rotors my shop says find leave them on when they're replacing the rubber part of the tire Sam we're good to go axle get it all brushed off so all the dirt and stuff and all the old grease is off of it and the tire actually only rotates from about here to here I'm so I'm just gonna put grease in that area on the part where it's sitting inside of the front forks doesn't need to be greased just give it a bit of grease on there like that even they've spread it all over the place it needs to be about that pick all the way around so you just barely on there when you stick it all the way through the bike I'm just gonna a lot I was gonna scrape off anyway it's also right here on the tire it tell us what direction is rotating you want to make sure that it's you know obviously and are the right direction nice pike also has a spacer between a wheel or the axle just goes through in the outside fork so make sure you get the spacer back in there and then in half pretty much it back in with a rubber mallet or something soft make sure it's all the way I'll post a link in the video description for the tires they're really cheap on Amazon best place to get them just look in the video description for that there you go we're back on the ground everything's tightened down these are let's super important kind of pinch the axle in place and make sure those are tight you have to only questions my sure leave them in the comments I put everything you need in the description I'm like the back Jack you know different parts that you'll need for it so just go ahead and search through everything it's on amazon amazon the cheapest place to buy all the stuff so anyway if you have any comments leave them in the comments yes do you like this video make sure to like it and over to subscribe thanks you
