PM me your email address and I'll send you the workshop manual. I also have a parts manual somewhere I can send, I think. _________________ Look for my books...

Cheers Desmo but Lotus sent me one last night. It does not have rear wheel removal in detail but is a lot better then nothing. Its a very odd set up but probably very simple. I removed the rear clamps and undid the silver round bolts expecting it to be the spindle but they just came straight out either end. There was not enough adjustment in the chain to allow it to hook back over the sprocket so I stopped before I broke something to double check... _________________ Pomps

Could you get the chain off a little bit and rotate the wheel to feed it off the sprocket? Worse case scenario is having to take both caps off the swingarm and dropping the rear wheel with the chain still on it, but the rear brake makes it a lot of fun (sarcasm). I've wedged a board under the wheel so I don't drop or tweak anything when I've had to do this with my Paso 750 when messing around with the rear wheel during rear sprocket swaps and other experimentation. _________________ Look for my books...
