Take the caliper back off and don't mount it until after the wheel is on. Makes it much easier when you don't have to worry with aligning the disk and the hub with bits on the bike.



Thanks. I will definitely go that route next time. This was the first time I took the wheel off and put too much stock in trying to follow the Triumph manual to the letter....and was really afraid of messing something up.

But two days later, the tire hasn't fallen off or caused me to fall off so......

Looks like I'm back in business for the RAT ride to Winthrop, WA tomorrow. I really appreciate all the help found here.
