 |
|
Can the rear trailing arms be removed without removing the wheel hub? It looks like there may be sufficient space to get a wrench on the two M14 nuts. I have new metric hardware so no issue cutting the bolts off.
If absolutely necessary will remove the M30 slotted wheel nut and wheel hub.
Thoughts? |

During my last rear torsion plate adjustment on my 76 Westy, I left the wheel hub intact including the emergency brake cable and was able to move it enough to get it out of the way and completely remove the spring plate. I could have removed the trailing arm without any issues at that time.
