Has anyone succesfully replace the rotor without removng the rear axle?
I've loosened the rotor bolts but the seems no way it will slide/wiggle over the hub.
The wheel bolts appear to be permanently fixed to the hub. Are they? Must they come out?
Or is there indeed no way Jose and must I attempt (have the 46mm socket) to take out the axle?

Axle nut came off np, as did the axle moving out. Case solved.
Ok that one closed, next one opened....
the rear caliper pin that holds the brake pads in place (under this little dust seal). Well euh I stripped the bolt; the inner part that holds an allen key.
So I will have to button everything else up and go to the dealer as I donot own (nor risk owning :-) ) a drill bit that would allwo me to drill it out...
Never a dull moment...
Bought that chainguard off another VFR rider who didnot like the crud on his rear shock.
Me neither and I had messed up my carbon fibre hugger so I mated the two...

In the end, it was a breeze.
Losen the 46mm nut,

Noticed that oem has 2 rubber grommets, the ricks has only one.

Took a management decision :-) to place the grommet where the "missing" one wolud go, in the top slot.
Please tell me if i was right or wrong....
I would have done the same.
Ciao,
