Ok.... so I go to the local Honda dealer to have a new K70 front tire mounted on the rim of my 1973 CB750. When I got it home and installed the wheel it seemed to fit into the brake caliper correctly but the wheel would not turn. After removing the brake caliper I noticed that the brake disk was rubbing against the lower leg of the front fork. I removed the wheel and replaced at least three times thinking that I must have done something wrong.
It turns out that the Honda dealership removed the axel, while mounting the tire, and installed it on the opposite side of the wheel. the spacing of the tire in the center of the forks appeared to be correct... but it was not.
I have tried to remove the axel by inserting a screw driver into the hole on one side of the axel and using a crescent wrench on the nut end. The thing will not budge. I assume that the axel follows the 'Righty Tighty... Lefty.. Losey' threading. Is this correct? Any ideas on how to remove the axel that I am missing? Or is back to the shop?
