Hi Jay,
Actually the front wheel is easy to take off.
For the sake of others this is the processs I followed.
1) loosen the two pinch bolts on the left fork leg
2) get a bolt (1/2 -13 if I remmeber, but don't hold me to that) that fits snuggly into the axle end then gettwo nuts and lock them on the bolt, use wrench to on the nuts to loosen the xale.
3) remove the brake calipers (both of them).
4) finish pulling the axle out
5) wiggle the wheel unitl it is free from the speedo drive or until the spacer on the left falls out.
6) pull the wheel to the left and slowly slide it out.
That's it.
Axle torque on reinstall wa 60 ft lb and pinch bolts It hink 15 or 20. WARNING DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE PINCH BOLTS!!!!!!!! IF you do that you will damage the left fork leg.
