Hi all.
what’s the best way to remove a rear wheel fitted with the M3W Services disc brake conversion?,also, does the disc or drive belt sprocket need to be removed before taking the wheel to have a new tyre fitted?.

If you have a mudguard remove it, jack the car up, undo the axle nut, undo the 2 tension adjusters, slide the rear wheel forward to remove the drive belt from the rear sprocket the rear wheel assembly can then be slid rear wards out of the swing arm.

There should be enough slack in the hydraulic brake hose and hand brake cable to just lie the wheel assembly under the car, you may need to undo a couple of clips holding the brake hose and the cable. If you can’t do this then you will have to disconnect both the hydraulic hose and the hand brake cable to remove the wheel assembly.

Whichever option you choose you will then need to remove the drive sprocket from the hub and then the wheel from the hub, you do not need to remove the disc.
