Where is the problem?
Removing, Very simple.
First sheetcan that dog axed rear fender, do not reinstall, and those for cacamamie dead fish sardine can looking stovepipes do not reinstall these either, give them to Charlie Tuna.
Replacing the wheel can be the complicated part for the impatient newbie, especially without removing the above mentioned atrocities.
Do not break the wires.
If you need more than this you should reconsider.

Thanks, now I can take off my rear wheel, how about the front wheel, I only have 12000 miles on my r18,apparently the front tire had the wrong air pressure and my tire is cupping, but i still don't know how to take it off

You rode 12,000 miles without checking your tire pressure?
You do need help.

I have a red one, a black one and a gold anodized on.

And here is the gold anodized one, bet you thought I was joking.

Hey guys I was wondering how to pull the axle to get the tire off. I already removed the allen bolt, but I don't see how to remove the axle, without marking anything up?
 
Does anyone else find the choice of material for the left side spacer interesting?

Part #3, the sensor mount is made of some sort of plastic or composite.

It's pretty easy to remove the rear wheel. A novice job!. One question, just to be sure. Is there a side for piece # 13? Can't see much a difference. Thanks.
