I need advice from all you experts

I am going to chrome plate my wheels and hub

is it hard to take off the wheels?

The rear requires a jack with the rear jack support placed under the frame tabs and the front support under the engine. A typical cruiser bike lift should work.

Unbolt bottom exhaust pipe from frame attach point and rotate downward to allow access to axle nut...loosen axle nut.....remove rear brake attach bolt from frame.......jack bike up....remove rear axle.....remove rear brake and rotate brake out of the way and place something between pads to prevent calipers from moving....take wheel off.

Reverse for installation.

For front, place both jack supports under engine...this will raise the front wheel only. I remove both brakes first then the axle. Installation is much easier with brakes out of the way, then just slide them over the discs after the wheel is on.

"Given our inevitably incomplete knowledge about key operational aspects of wheel and hub removal and the sometimes asymmetric costs or benefits of such outcomes as chrome-plating and re-installation, the expertise on which we are told we have settled is a paradigm which has now come to involve, at its core, crucial elements of uncertainty"
