i use an impact gun to take them off, and torque wrench to put em on :rock:Now a long time ago I was told that front sprockets had to be put on with an impact gun to ensure they stay on. I was also told to only take them off in the same manor. Can anybody shed some light on this? :wtf:
Same on the oilcooled suzuki's and some also have a large washer that bolts on the end of the shaft as well, never used a impact wrench on them before just a large socket and bar, bike in gear and rear brake on and plenty of leverage.On my Kawi and Yami they are both large nuts on the output shaft that are a mother to break loose.
You do remember correctly. and it is a sonofabitch to get it loose even with a decent impact.If I remember correctly, there is a large washer behind the nut. You will need to flatten this washer before taking a impact to it. I've used my impact to tighten the nut, but only a quick blip. After you tighten the nut, use a chisel to bent the washer back over the flats of the nut. Be careful not to gouge your sprocket.
Another trick: I put my bikes in neutral, apply the rear brake and sometimes the front(second person highly recommended). This keeps the internals from seeiny any of the shock from the impact gun.
then its probably not going to come off. When I was trying to do it on the stands, it would turn the motor over before even thinking about coming off.I dont have a wheel on it at the moment let alone a chain.
fuck...i guess i can put the wheel back on to get it off. just a pain.then its probably not going to come off. When I was trying to do it on the stands, it would turn the motor over before even thinking about coming off.
it isnt the origanl. so heres hoping. so there is a washer behind the nut but in front of the sprocket that i need to flatten before taking the main nut off.Yea, flatten the washer and Impact is the easiest. I have used a socket and a good ratchet with a big ass breaker bar before as well. Ive had em come off easy and also had ones that were a bitch coming off.
