Ive got to remove the rear hub, got one car axle stand a car jack and a rear paddock stand.

Whats the best way to attack it? Thought about putting the axle stand and jack under footpegs. Reckon it would work?

Obviously the padock stand is no good as it goes through the hub.

Wish Id brought more axle stands back from my parents got 4 more down there :cry:

get an ABBA stand or make one like I did.......cost me $35 Canadian.......most of the cost was having the threaded rods lathed down to fit.

Two car axle stands, or one and a few bricks, underneath fixed pegs works fine. You'll need an X not barrel car jack, and a block of wood to protect the bottom of the bike when you jack it up. Better if you have a mate there to help. Best if you can suspend the bike from the ceiling just in case it falls off... Good luck!
