08-16 CBR1000RR Front Wheel Removal / Installation

Basic video showing you how to remove and reinstall the front wheel on a 2008 CBR1000RR.
Tools needed:
- Front and Rear Stands
- Ratchet
- 22mm socket
- 14mm socket
- 12mm socket
- Torque wrench
- Bungie cords (optional)
- Loctite & grease (as needed)
Torque reference:
Front Axle Bolt - 58 lbft
Caliper Bolts - 33 lbft
Pinch Bolts - 16 lbft
Before I torque the axle nut I use the front brakes to help center the wheel. Then torque the axle nut and then torque the pinch bolts. Everyone seems to have their own way of doing this but this is how I have always done it.
Video does not include how put your motorcycle on stands. (if you can't manage that on your own you shouldn't attempt to remove your wheel)

From what I've been told and done in past torque the axle nut 1st then pinch bolts. But to each their own -Great video straight forward and to the point no nonsense..TY FOR SHARING THE TORQUE SPECS TOO!

[@Neils400]

missed the magical removal of the front axle bolt?! it's disappeared between 13-14 seconds in lol

[@TSmith0048]

Yeah only reason I clicked the video was for the size of that nut, wtf...

[@DRCsyntax]

I just rewinded the video twice cause of that

Thanks for the quick demo - I just want to remind people to pump their brakes up firm before you ride it. That way you will have brakes on the first lever pull.

Thanks. Great straightforward video demonstration. What type of loctite, blue or red? Thanks again. Take care.

[@Eight420]

I'm pretty sure it's red. Atleast that's what color the ends of mine were.
