I need a new back tire and to save a few $$ i read and watched video's this morning and figured i was ready to pull the tire off. 6 hrs later i got it off  Shocked. With the back half of the right side exaust off and caliper with axle nut pulled there was no way to work the tire out.
 Pulled the shocks still no go. Bout now is when i learned my jack has quit workin :mad:
 Finally figured out the tire was rubbing the belly tank just before it would get far enough over to roll out. Pulled the pumkin and shaft and its out. Good news is the splines look GREAT on the pumkin and drive shaft.   
 Was thinkin going with a ct but now i'm wondering if the belly tank is gonna be a problem. Any darksiders have a belly tank?

Raise the axle/swing arm UP above the exhaust.

They rarely do. 

Dag's vid is more of a summary than a step by step, and definitely lacks the colorful language my video would have.
