derailleur still pulled back, push the wheel forward and down until it
comes out of the rear dropouts.
d. Installing a Bolt-On Rear Wheel
(1) Shift the rear derailleur to its outermost position and pull the
derailleur body back with your right hand.
(2) Put the chain on to the smallest sprocket. Then, insert the wheel
into the frame dropouts and pull it all the way in to the dropouts. The
axle nut washers should be on the outside, between the frame and the
axle nut.
(3) Tighten the axle nuts as tightly as you can, using a six-inch
adjustable wrench or a 15mm box wrench.
(4) Push the rear derailleur back into position.
(5) Close the brake; then spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered
in the frame and clears the brake shoes.
