FireHead Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 If I remeber correctly I always just grabbed the thing with a big pair of channel lock pliers. Quote
BigRed350x Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 Sometimes you can take a flat-head screwdriver and put it in one of the V's of the nut and smack it with a hammer and get it to bust loose. - Jared Quote
91banshee Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 What the hell, i popped both the seals out and found a big ass rusty hex that needs to be removed. How can i get that thing out???? i had the same problem , spray wd 40 on it and let it sit then took a 1 1/8th bolt i picked up at hardware store and put 2 nuts on the end and locked them together turn the bolt upside down and it will fit in the hex nut like a big allen wrench, then i took a pull handle and broke it lose only way i knew how to get the rusty ones . if it needs more help heat it up with a small torch and it will free it ,have done that to Quote

woodro77 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 i bought a tool to do it , i got the tool from my local honda dealer , it was made to take apart dirtbike forks but it the same size for the steering stem bearings , its hex on 1 side and a 3/8 drive fits into the other , i put it on my impact gun and they come right out Quote
kojack Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 What the hell, i popped both the seals out and found a big ass rusty hex that needs to be removed. How can i get that thing out???? on mine i measured the diameter of the hole and went to ace hardware. picked up a nut thats about 1 inch deep and dropped it in the hole, on the other end i slapped up the ratchet and it came right out.

Joe22883 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 What the hell, i popped both the seals out and found a big ass rusty hex that needs to be removed. How can i get that thing out???? Not sure if you got the bolt out yet but i just had the same problem when removing mine to get my frame powdercoated.Here is what the banshee manual says : A 30mm hex driver will be required to remove and install or you could use the Yamaha fork damper rod holder (part No. YM-01327) along with a ratchet extension or you can make a tool with a 30mm bolt or nut. good luck Quote
gregbowler Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 It's a 3/4" bolt not 1 1/8. The head of a 3/4" bolt is 1 1/8. Quote
