    simple operation. jack it

    3 SHCS holding on rotor to wheel remove

    dust cap
    cotter pin
    castle nut
    slide off axle

    I leave hub on to change tires but you are best to take to ATV shop or tire guy if you having trouble getting a wheel off -- Tire is challenging on beadlock style wheels

    FWIW, just did the same and went to the NANCO 21x12x8's and love them! Got the 16" tires off myself by breaking the bead in a large vice with a ratchet strap over the tire and under the jaw. A little muscle work, but very doable. Let the tire guys mount the new rubber and add new stems. This may go without saying, but of course you should clean inspect and repack your wheel bearings before reassembly.
