Model: Bmw R 1200 Gs
Part: Wheel

To remove the front wheel of the BMW R 1200 GS, first loosen the bolts securing the front brake caliper to the disc. Once these bolts are loosened, you can completely remove the caliper and unscrew the nuts securing the wheel's central axle. After this has been removed, you can take off the wheel entirely to replace it with a new spare part. The new wheel can be secured by inserting the axle and locking it with the nuts, then reinstalling the corresponding brake caliper.
