I am installing new tires on the main gear and wondering the best way to do this?

Do I have to remove the brake housing first?  It looks like the nuts & bolts holding the brake housing on is going to be  difficult to get to with a wrench. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have replaced tires on my HDS a couple of times.  All you have to do is remove the axle.  All the brake stuff stays in place.  Don't forget to balance the wheels.  You might be surprised how much weight it takes.

Hi Jack,

You should be able to jack the fork and take the pressure off the axle. 

Then remove the axle and spacers, which will allow you to

let the rotor down from between the brake pads.  Then the disassembly is 

little more than letting out the air and splitting the wheel

for removal and replacement of the tube and tire.  I've included a 

drawing and pics of a device that makes that task a bit easier

for you.
