Simen,
The rear wheel is removed by loosening the axle (the nut is a bitch to loosen), adjust the adjusters full slack and then sliding the wheel forward so you can loop the chain off the rear sprocket. The chain on our bikes is an endless one that use a rivet instead of the standard master link setup.
once the chain is off the sprocket, slide the rear axle out and the wheel should be free to drop down.
there are wear bars on the tires that run across the treads. The wear bars are usually located at the triangles that are embossed on the sidewalls. Once you hit the wear bars, you should consider changing your tires.
Do you have a service manual?
