Hi all, I removed my rear wheel to have a new tire inslalled. All went well but I am having trouble upon reinstallation. I can get the brake disk in the between the brake pads and install the axle through the disk brake mount. At this point the wheel spins freely. It is getting the axle through the swing arm that is the problem. Once I have the axle through the swing arm which is very tight the wheel is bound up and will not spin. I checked the axle to see if it was bent at all, looks good. Did not depress brake pedal while wheel was off. Like I said it spins freely in the brake pads while axle is only through hole in disk brake caliper mounting braket. Wheel is alighned per side notch markings. This is without putting the chain on. I'm stumped. Any ideas would be great. Thanks in advance. Bob

I read your message several times and I think I know what process you have tried. Try removing the brake caliper from the frame with the two caliper bolts. Replace the (wheel) and axle and then fit the brake caliper around the rotor.The key is to remove the brake caliper when remnoving the wheel, it's quicker to reassemble IMO. Check that the axle is not skewed front or back, there are sliders on the frame to place the axle in the right place. Live and leaRN. hOpe this helps. Conall Conall

Bob, Make sure that the disc is not between both pads and the caliper, don't ask how I know the rear wheel can mount this way.
