Installing The rear tire along with the chain, caliper and axle is a tough job for a 2-handed person. I did use a wooden rod to align the right hand side (caliper, bearing and wheel axle) but fought the left side since my right hand was positioning the wooden rod, my right foot was positioning a small 2x4 under the tire and my left hand was manhandling the axle, which left me with using my knees to align the wheel in order to insert the axle. An extra hand would have been a great help. I didn't have access to a drop table or any other mechanical device but just the right verbage and the axle finally centered in the hub. On goes the chain and the tightening and alignment process began. Job completed. Only took me two afternoons. Next time I need a new rear tire, I'll pay the extra money and let a motorcycyle shop do the work.
