Well, The good news is that I just picked up a Baker 26 tooth sprocket for my M2. But the bad news is that I need help figuring out how to hold the sprocket so I can remove and replace the sprocket nut. It looks like the best way is to use the HD tool #41321. Does another member here have one I could borrow or buy? If not, are there other good ways to do this? (I do have a primary locking bar but I hesitate to use it because the loads must pass through the transmission and I don't want to damage my shafts.) Any information or advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave |

I'm sure there's better ways but I have managed to just apply the rear brake (hlding the whole brake lever/master cylinder in my hand.) An impact wrench is almost a necessity. |

Brake and a strong impact will work. You will need a 1 7/8" socket as well. |

I have the socket and impact wrench for disassembly. My concern is having a good way to hold the sprocket for tightening to the specified torque spec. I just hate to use the impact tools for assembly. |

Dave, I built a homemade tool that has worked for me more than once. It is not the same as the factory tool, but was easy to build. If you are interested pm me and I can take a few pics and send them to you. Mike |

I just put a bar through my rear wheel and 4 foot section of pipe on a breaker bar. It's a b***h. |

You can push the bike back against a wall. That way the bike won't move back as you tighten the nut. Remember, lefty tighty... |

No need to monkey around with trying to hold the brake while wrenching. A piece of aluminum flat stock can take the place of the HD tool. Use it the same way you would the factory tool. I'm assuming you're following the instructions in the service manual. |

Doh! I thought you meant the crank sprocket. Are you having any luck with the improvised tool? http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/711690.html?1367857890 |

Here's the tool pics;

![Sprocket tool 4](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/47623/711752.jpg) The tool replaces the spacer behind the cast sprocket guard with Buell on it. I have not run the plastic guard in years, you might have to remove it. Also, I found out the hard way it will not work on the S2 as the guard is one piece, not two. Mike |
