Rear Wheel out for tyre swap - Help

[Bronco Billy]

Dont laugh but just need to ask cos I run an old 1150 myself. Got to take my mates back wheel down the bike shop to get a new tyre fitted and I`ve not taken one of these new fangled bike wheels out before. So ......

1. Do I need to take the caliper off?
2. Is it a strange wheel bolt?
3. What poundage do I dial in on the torque wrench to do em up at?
4. Anything else to watch out for

Thank you my 1200 owning Brothers .........

No
T50 Bit
60NM

It`s 65NM for the wheel nuts.

Nope tis 60nm

 

[Mav]

60 is all I put on them

 

[Sgt Bilco]

Ah well, that extra 5nm never hurt it

I treat my bike like my women, always give them that bit extra

My Dad's rule was tighten it up till it breaks and then back it off half a turn.

 

[motoscot]

correct figure is 60nm

Or as Lord Flashheart would say:
