Chase, there shouldn't be any issue as long as you have the right tools.
I assume you are talking about the nut (13mm or 14mm) on top of the swing arm that
holds the Aluminum stay plate as well as a bracket for the brake hose.
You need a universal joint on the socket, long extension (8") and 3/8 ratchet. You
only need to loosen this bolt (not remove) to allow the wheel axle to move up or
back in the swing arm. I even have the Krauser brackets, but no problem.
Heading off to Montrose, Col tomorrow for the Col Thin Air TT this weekend.
We are head quartered out of the San Juan Inn if anyone in the area wants to stop
by and say high Fri or Sun. Dan Danielson (enlarger of gas tanks) is going with me.
He and his girlfriend are riding in the couples category.
Back mid next wk.
