81 CB750 Custom - Removing the rear tire

[micallen]

What's the process?  Is it difficult for a rookie?  Things to watch out for?

I did this for the first time a few months ago.

nothing to really worry about except getting the chain off.  loosen the bolts on both sides.  loosen the brake parts keeping track of what you took off, push the wheel forward and push the chain in toward the spokes to separate the wheel.

I found replacing the rear tire rubber much easier than the front tire rubber on 30 year old tires.

Doesn't sound too bad.  So you replaced the tire yourself?  Or are you just talking about taking the tire and rim off the bike??

I also need to get the valve stem replaced.  Has anyone done this themselves?
