Ok, I was riding my NZ 350-1 from the gym down the street that I usually go to when bam...the back tire goes flat. I walked the bike back to my house and discovered that the inner tube had burst right by the air valve. I have a copy of a DKW manual that calls for lifting the rear fender, removing the nut on the left hand side (if facing the motorcycle) and then loosening the other nut on the other side. Problem is is that the nut turns, but wont loosen. What am I doing wrong here? Also whats a good source for the correct size inner tubes, and also what is the correct size? Thanks.

Well, scratch my last inquiry....I was able to find a 3.25x19-3.50x19 inner tube at my local motorcycle shop...for a nice cost of 8 USD. I got home, managed to get the rear tire off (I didnt follow the manual to a T) and managed to get the rim off using some basic tools without damaging the rim or spokes. Now Im sitting back with a nice round of scotch to toast my learning experiance. BTW the manual recommends using a DKW tool for the tires...any idea where I can find this tool for future issues?

Hi Tim,
Perhaps You have the rear-wheel lose by now.
A friend of mine had the same problem with the nut.
There was no space to pull the nut out.
A piece of wood, placed between axe and frame, managed the job.
there was just enough space to pull the nut out then.
