So I got the front wheel back on for now. The process for taking it off is the same but in reverse, obviously.

To start off, insert the collar (spacer) on the right side of the wheel and slide in the wheel axle from the left side and finger tighten the large bolt on the right side of the wheel.

Next, lube the slider pins (I used CU1000) and leave them unscrewed. There is just enough room to get the caliper, with pads installed, past the wheel lip and onto the brake discs.

Then tighten the slider pins, for my bike it's 11.5 lb-ft but hand tightening works just as well. Then tighten the caliper bolts, for my bike it's 28.5 lb-ft.

Next torque the large bolt to 72.5 lb-ft, again, my bike specs. Afterwards, tighten the two smaller pinch bolts on the right side of the bike to the specs, 16.5 lb-ft.

Then jounce the suspension 4-5 times while holding the steering straight and tighten the 2 small pinch bolts on the left side of the wheel.
