If for any reasons like a puncture or for service you have to remove the front wheel, you can follow the steps below:
Dismantling:
1. Unscrew the speedometer cable from the hub
2. Sit in front of the tire so that your hands can reach both the ends of the fork
3. Use a 16 end spanner to hold the left side shaft
4. While still holding the 16 end spanner on the left, use a 24 end spanner on the right side to loosen the nut
5. Remove the nut along with the washer from the right side and keep it aside
6. Use a mallet or the handle of the hammer to gently tap the shaft from the right to the left
7. As the shaft moves away from the right fork, hold the spacer and keep it aside
8. As the shaft moves away from the left fork, hold the spacer along with the speedometer hub and keep it aside
9. Pull away the shaft completely and keep it aside
10. Now gently roll the wheel outside of the front mudguard
Assembly:
1. Move the wheel gently back into the front mudguard while taking care to align the disc to the groove on the disc shoes
2. Lift the wheel or push the fork down to align the shaft
3. Place the spacer and the speedometer hub in position on the left side and gently push the shaft into the wheel
4. Place the spacer on the right side and gently slide the shaft into the right fork
5. Place the washer and then hand screw the nut
6. Screw the speedometer cable into position on the hub by adjusting the angle of the hub
7. Use a 16 end spanner to hold the left side shaft
8. While still holding the 16 end spanner on the left, use a 24 end spanner on the right side to tighten the nut
9. The nut should be hand tight with the slightest jerk
10. Rotate the wheel to feel the free movement, check the speedometer and ensure there is no screeching noise

NOTE:
- Clean the shaft, the spacers and the inside of the bearings with a clean cloth
- Apply a thin film of grease on the parts cleaned before you begin the assembly
- After dismantling the front wheel, do not hold the front disc brake as it may jam the disc shoe
