I own a 02 Wing with a Lehman Monarch II trike rear end. I am going to remove my rear tires this year to inspect the brakes/drums and also adjust them since there supposedly non self adjusting drum brakes. I am also in the market for a good lift/jack for this project and also for future use to work on my trike.
So right now I am looking at either a 1500 Lb. Lightweight Aluminum Motorcycle Lift or a 1100 lb motorcycle scissor Jack. I would jack the trike's read end up under the read axle punkin area with either. Any pro's or con's on either jack would be appreciated.
Now to remove the rear tires. I have never done this before and it looks like there isn't much room to do this. I would first use the air ride system to inflate and raise the rear end to its maximum height. I would then jack up the rear end and put jack stands under the axle.
Next I believe I will need to jack up the frame while the axle is on jacks to get enough clearance to remove the tires?
If anyone out there has taken off the rear tires, is this the correct way to do it? If not any advice would greatly help.
Thanks in advance, Jim
