Ryda85 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 i cannot get the rear sprocket off the axle, tried heat, liquid wrench, pullers, hammers.....please help me i am going nuts Quote
cory vogrinec Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 still no luck guys 307728[/snapback] I know this might sound a little crazy, but this old mechanic I used to know (going on 50 years experience) would take a can of coca-cola and pour it over stuck parts and fasteners and it worked every time.(crazy) So I guess try and soak it with some coca-cola and see what happens?????????????

Ryda85 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Posted January 17, 2005 hmm i always thought it was sprite...seriously though...ive been my own mechanic for about 3 years and have not had a bolt stuck this badd never heard of soda acting like liquid wrench Quote
Otis Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Try it, what could it hurt...if it doesnt work, so your out a buck twenty, and have a sticky sprocket... IMPACT WRENCH.....works like a charm....every time!!.. if you dont have one, use a piece of pipe as a breaker bar on your ratchet.... and then get yourself an impact wrench!! Quote
racer Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 IMPACT WRENCH.....works like a charm....every time!!.. 307781[/snapback] oh yeah, a big fat impact will do the trick. if you dont have shop air, get about a 3 foot piece of pipe (steel) and slip it over the end of your ratchet. thatll give you the leverage you need.

Ryda85 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Posted January 17, 2005 what the hell? an impact gun...how can i remove my rear sprocket hub from my axle with an impact gun? its splined on Quote
racer Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 i thought you meant remove it from the carrier, but you want to remove the carrier it self. if you have remove those two bigass nuts ( ) then whack the axle with a BFH and see if that doesnt free it up. but remember to place the castle nut on the axle or youll fuck up the threads.

Ryda85 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Posted January 17, 2005 the locknuts have been removed already.... this thing is not coming off Quote
bansheefreak Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 the locknuts have been removed already.... this thing is not coming off 307803[/snapback] he is saying put the castle nut that holds the hub on and hit that SOB with a BFH and this might free it up when you hit the axle and the sprocket hub hits the carrier...

Ryda85 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Posted January 17, 2005 ok tried that and all i did was get the caster nut stuck and now it wont tighten or loosen Quote
racer Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 so put the axle in a vice and now you can use that impact. Quote
