JdiZzla Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) Im trying to remove my front sprocket and am having a hell of a time i used liquid wrench and i cant seem to get the nut off. Are there any tricks to this or am i going to have to use a torch? Edited October 21, 2007 by JdiZzla Quote
wesw Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 impact and sockets solves about any problems. Quote
theshee Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 Did you bent the lock washer tabs out of the way? Quote
JdiZzla Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Posted October 22, 2007 Yeah i bent it out of the way but this is impossible. I am using a 32mm socket with a two foot breaker and i still cant get it to move. Whats the best way to keep the sprocket from turning? Quote
okbeast Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Impact gun. Or maybe the raptor plastic is getting in the way :biggrin: j/k Edited October 22, 2007 by okbeast Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 if you dont have access to an impact gun and your motor is in the frame. put the chain back on and have someone hold the rear brake. this should keep the sproket from spinning. that way you can either get some leverage with the braker bar or hit the bar with a hammer to jar it loose Quote

Bansh-eman Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 yea they are very handy! i need to save the money and get a nice big air compressior and buy some air tools. Quote
Handyman Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 yea they are very handy! i need to save the money and get a nice big air compressior and buy some air tools. Sears is having a sell on their tools....a 26 gallon compressor, 160 max psi with a imact wrench and air ratchet and hose and stuff is $280......think I may go get one in the morning Quote

fox_forma Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 just curious but isnt the sprocket a 33mm socket, same as the clutch nut as well? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) the clutch is a 32mm not 33... edit: i just checked the sproket its 32... Edited October 22, 2007 by Bansh-eman Quote
JdiZzla Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Posted October 22, 2007 just curious but isnt the sprocket a 33mm socket, same as the clutch nut as well? Well i used a 32 and it worked and i know it was a 32 because i had to buy it, but i dont know about the clutch. Quote
fox_forma Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 hmmm, for some reason I thought it was a 33mm, not sure why though Quote
