    OK guys feeling quite pathetic here - I don't do much maintenance myself but have done a bit in the past so am not completely stupid (or maybe thats past tense :mad:).

    Got a new tyre for my 09 Repsol blade and I'm struggling to get the rear axle completely through. It just seems to stick at the rear caliper and I'm not gonna take a hammer to it unless I really have to. Is it just a case of getting the alignment right or something?

    Thanks in advance!

    FFS I was being a twat - had the collars on the wrong side :eek:
    Swapped them over and it slipped through no problem - glad I didn't resort to the BFH!

    Thanks for the quick reply bladerunner.
