Rear Wheel problems

[dave]

I have a 2013 CB1100 and I am having some serious issues with my rear wheel . I recently had a rear tire replaced, but mounting the rear wheel back on has been impossible. the last inch 1/2 of the rear axel does not go in and it keeps hitting something. I have done this job before several times but for whatever reason this time has been impossible. I am installing the wheel by myself, which is a pain. Any advice or tips are highly appreciated it

I had a similar problem, where I could not get the axle through. I just didn't seem to be able to move the wheel back far enough to fit the axel all the way through. I figured that since the chain tension was good when I took the wheel off, and I didn't change it, then it should allow the wheel to position correctly so that the axel could be reinstalled. My problem was the chain had hung down when the wheel was off and hooked itself on something on the frame. This prevented the wheel from moving aft far enough to get the axel in. Am I the only one who has experienced this (it actually happened twice to me).
