I have a flat tire on one of the main gear wheels on my Allegro 2000. I
want to remove the wheel without unscrewing the hydraulic brake line
from the caliper and loosing the brake fluid. Can I remove the disc
brake caliper from the disc leaving it attached to the hydraulic brake
line and then remove the wheel? If so how do I do it?

The wheel is a split wheel, after removing the bolts you just take off the o
utside half of the wheel. There is no need to do anything about the brakes a
t this time. I believe the bolts are number five metric

I've done this a number of times. All you have to do is remove the three bo
lts that attach the brake disk to the wheel. Then remove the cotton pin fro
m the axle shaft, remove the wheel retaining nut and the wheel should pull r
ight off the axle shaft. The caliper and brake disk stay in place.
Good luck!

Same here... I leave the brake components in-place.
The toughest part can be breaking the tire bead free from the rim. (Better to
stand on it, rather than be tempted to pry it apart with sharp-edged objects).
