Standard on most motorcyles,remove large nut from shaft. make sure chain adjusters are loose. tap shaft with hammer and drift to knock it out of the hub and springarm

Take the flat tyre to a tyre shop and have it repaired there as believe or not , puncture repair requires the correct tools and procedure for safety. As for the rest a good workshop manual should have that information or get a service hand book from the dealer service centre.
The rear wheel is held in place by a locking clip which is controlled by a lever. To remove the wheel, simply press the lever rearwards, and pull the wheel away from the housing. Remove the tyre carefully, using appropriate tyre levers, in order to repair the puncture in the inner-tube, or to replace it.
Simply buy a replacement spoke. Unscrew the dustcap on the tyre valve and deflate the tyres inner tube. Remove tyre using tyre levers(as you do to repair a puncture). Next remove the inner tube to reveal the spoke tensioners. undo the tension nut and allow the broken spoke to fall out, feed the other part of the broken spoke out of the hub. feed the replacement spoke through the hub and into the hole on the wheel rim. Now screw on the tensioning nut to the spoke.Tighten up to the same tension as the other spokes. replace inner tube and tyre, then reinflate. Viola!
hi, the chances are you have a puncture os something sharp sticking into the inner tube inside the tyre, what you need to do is buy a puncture repair kit then using the repair kit you take the tyre off the wheel then take the inner tube out. now blow the inner tube up and place it in bowl of water and you should see bubbles coming off the inner tube, mark this with pen when dry so you know where the whole is, now use the puncture kit and place a patch over the whole, you can buy glue type patches or stick on patches without glue, you peel the back off the patch and put glue on or stick it over the whole if its a stick on patch and not glue.
then whilst this dry run your fingers around the inside of the tyre and check for any thorns or something sharp sticking in the tyre if you feel anything remove it and you should be ok, then when glue dry put the inner tube back in tyre and fit the tyre back on wheel now when you pump it up it shouldnt go back down unless you get another puncture.
if you are unsure what you are doing then taking your stroller into any bike shop and ask them to repair the punctures for you and they will do this for you whilst you wait.
you have a few choices but if you want a long term fix you are better off getting a new inner tube as once a puncture occurs with the quinny wheels they will carry on doing it but theey are cheap enough to replace via ebay for about £6
if you dont want to replace you will need to remove the rubber wheel from the hub as you would a bike tyre then remove the inner tube pump the tyre up put in water so you can find the hole then fix with a puncture repair kit
if you want to carry on using you can fill the tyres with tyre weld as you would a car they dont puncture and makes the quinny a smother ride
and if all else fails you can buy a used or new pair of wheels from ebay between £15 and £30 hope this helps x
The Cali' Special tyre pressures:-
--------------- 1 RIDER.---------------------- 2 RIDERS
Front ...... 2.3 Bar(33.5psi) ................... 2.3Bar(33.5psi)
Rear ....... 2.5Bar(36.3psi) .................... 2.9Bar(42psi)
I use BT45's on mine but I have the ordinary tubed rims.
I find the ride harsh but this may be down to suspension rather than tyres.
People recommend running the BT45 at a slightly higher pressure than the book.
I got 8500 miles from the front and 4700 from the rear. Although the rear was changed slightly early due to a puncture.
I will probably try a different make next time.
