I did mine a long time ago. A manual woudld be helpful but if I recall correctly it was pretty staightforward with no spring loaded parts that can jump out at you. When you put it together you have to make sure it can't rotate. There was a tab or something that it locks into to stop from turning. (Sorry for being vague but it was a long time ago.) A bit of grease in there will take care of the issue.

It's very straightforward and will be easy once you get the wheel off. It's a fixed magnet, no springs or tiny escapees. Be careful not to damage the seals, and align the tabs properly on reassembly.

Remove the wheel and grease the speedo magnet -- It is really easy. The hardest part of the whole ordeal is finding a damn hex wrench that will work on the front.

Measure as best as possible

Go to better hardware store and you will find a metric bolt who's head is the right diameter. Then vise grips or 2 nuts. If they have a big metric section there are coupling nuts where the nut is like 3 inches. Slip it in and there is still exposed hex for a wrench.

Note I always use Marine grease (water proof) on anything out in the weather.

Where ear plugs and many problems will go away

Vstroma has a axel wrench for $21.00 that is worth every penny.
