Need to change my neutral indicator switch and having a bitch of a time getting the front sprocket nut loose. I've got it in first gear, foot on the rear brake, pulling clockwise with a breaker bar. Won't budge. Better to use an air impact? Don't want to damage tranny. Ideas por favor. Grassy ass. | ||

I had to use heat on the last one I did.... | ||

The nut is held on with loctite red, so you will need some heat to get it off. But don't take a big torch to it, I used a very controlled flame, too much heat and you may damage the seals or bearings. I then used an impact wrench (air wrench) using a hammer can damage the bearings, as they are not designed to take a hit from the side. Good luck. | ||

Cool, I'll fill up my compressor tomorrow and try that first. Thanks. | ||

while we're on the topic, anyone know of if there's any billet replacements? Just wondering if there's anything shiny worth putting on there. | ||

If I were in your position, I would just sand it and paint it a pretty color while it was off. | ||

Just wondering if there's anything shiny worth putting on there. I got a aluminium pulley with a steel insert for splines. That aluminium pulley wore out faster than anything I have ever seen! It had 60 tp 70% wear in less than a season of riding, about 10k miles... Keep with stock or buy a fancy steel one.. | ||

Cut a piece of flat stock aluminum and jam it in between the crank gear and tranny/clutch gear. This will lock the gears and prevent them from moving. No need to stand on the brake. You should be able to remove the nut with hand tools at this point, but it'll take some effort and a breaker bar. HD makes a tool for this, but it's just a piece of flat stock aluminum. You should also use this when you tighten the nut during assembly to ensure you get a valid torque measurement. In fact, I believe the manual calls for this. | ||

Or you could buy one from Al http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/16075.html |
