    hi guys.

    just a quick question if you dont mind please, i have to drop the front wheel off my sons gilera or at least drop it down and inch to get to a nut behind the wheel that holds the mudgaurd in place.
    how do i remove the wheel and is there any danger of anything internal coming out that i may find hard to put back in or anything like that,

    thank you for any help.

    Drop the brake caliper off , undo the pinch bolt in the r/h leg, remove spindle. Make sure all spacers go back and re-assemble when done.

    Yes the pinch bolt is at the bottom of the leg and is the last bolt to do up after the spindle is fitted and tight, there is a wheel spacer on the caliper side if I remember rightly. Just take note of what you remove and where it goes.
