noob41 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 book say to torque it to 90nm but it keep turning, how to hold it still? sorry I hav bad ingles Quote
BdBanshee Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 If you have a air or electric impact wrench it's simple. Otherwise you need to buy a tool designed to hold the basket without damaging it. Quote
stu Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 definately use an impct driver or air gun or something along those lines. also put your bike in gear and get a buddy to stand on the back brake, this wont hold it right up to the torque but it sure does help stu Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 i have had my basket on and off many times and all i have ever done is used a 1/2" impact to tighten it. i set it on the highest setting and let it go. if you have another person there they can usually hold it so it wont go anywhere. get it tight and bend the washer over on it, it wont go anywhere.

rebelbanshee2 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 two ways... 1) get a clutch hub holding tool...or make one. I took two pieces of flat stock bent little tpas on them and ground them down till they fit in the grooves. Then drill a hole in them and bolted them together. It works extremely poor, but worked when I need it. 2) not what I do is take a steel and a fiber plate and bolt them together. then i put a rag between the drive gear off the crank and the big basket gear and just tighten away. Having the plates bolted together esetially locks the clutch up. Quote
RBD Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 ... and a little blue thread locker is good to use also. Quote
Rattlehead Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 I bought a pair of really big vice grips used for auto body repair. Costs under 20 bucks and they have them at any auto store. Just grinde the ends so they fit in the splinded areas and close her up. It keeps it's grip cuz it is a pair of vice grips which leaves your hands more free to get 'er done...If you want pics, PM me and I will try to post one. Also made a tool for holding fly wheel in place while taking the nut off. Quote
ssanddemon Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 Man, you guys who are smacking the big nut on with an impact are just begging to strip the mainshaft! The age- old trick is to place a penny (or something else that is similar sized AND SOFT, LIKE BRASS) between the output shaft gear of the crank and the gear on the basket. When you attempt to turn the assembly, it wedges them together, but will not damage the gear teeth. Reverse the rotation to remove the (now bent) penny. Use on either side of the gears to loosen or tighten, allows you to use a torque wrench like you should for proper reassembly; works like a charm! Quote
