how to remove the rear wheel?

[mrbreeze]

progress!!

I went to Advance Auto parts and found some oilf.

I asked the parts dude if he had any suggestions regarding the plug. He knew just what I was talking about. He suggested a little oilf on the end of the plug and then worked it in with a small flat blade screwdriver. Worked like a charm.

I was going to put the bike on the lift and test it, but Mrs. B wanted me to come inside and help her rearrange the furniture. She just loves me for my body.

I love the lift.

Yep this is a similar setup to mine. Strap the front down and lift up the rear with the table top jack. A link to the one like I have.

I spent an hour trying to get the rubber plug back in with no luck. grrrrr Does anyone know if there is a trick to this? I am running out of swear words.

I called the 800 # for tech support, got a message to send an email to tech@harborfreight.com. did that and got an auto reply saying I can expect a response within 48 hours.

I use either hydraulic fluid, or automatic transmission fluid in my jacks.
