OK, this has probably been asked before but ...
How big of a deal is it to pull the wheels off a 2001 sprint st and what tools will I need.
I dont have an owners manual so....

Easy enough,back especially.Put up on center stand, remove muffler--1 bolt for hanger 1 bolt for pipe clamp.Swivel off.Remove the retaining clip,I forget the size socket--I have a complete 3/4" drive set so just grab one that fits,1 5/16" maybe,or get my 15" crescent wrench to loosen wheel nut.There are several washers and spacers so make sure you keep track of order they go in,wheel comes right off.Takes about 5 minutes.
For front wheel you will need to weight back of bike so front comes off the ground,or remove lower fairing so you can put a jack under the motor to raise the front up.Take caliper bolts off and move them out of your way,loosen axle nut and then side clamp bolts.Be careful when putting back together to get speedo drive lined up correctly,so pay attention as it comes apart.The front will need to be up high enough so wheel will come out from under fender.
