Loosen a Motorcycle's Chain Adjuster Bolts

Hi my name is Drew Neilon from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in Little River. I work at Beach Customs and today I'm going to show you how to change and maintain a tire for Expert Village. Alright the next thing we're going to do is loosen the axle itself from the frame of the bike and what we're going to need is the two nine-sixteenths open end wrenches. And what we're going to do loosen the chain adjuster bolt so that the axle is free from the frame abling me to punch the axle through the rim and the frame itself. Alright so what we're going to do is get your nine-sixteenths on both sides of these bolts. And I'm going to loosen this bolt right here. Now that I got the chain adjuster bolt loosened, I need to go on the other side of the bike and do the same exact thing. Alright this bolt on this side of the axle is a little rusted so what I'm going to do use a little WD-40 on it to free up the rust from the bolt.
