I tried a few searches for "primary tool aluminum" but failed miserably. I need the tool that locks the primary for pulling and installing the sprocket and clutch. Does anyone have a cheap/fast source OR Does anyone have the dimensions to make one out of aluminum flat bar? Thanks in advance |

I use a wedge of pine (wood) It is soft so it won't splinter too badly and works like a champ! Or you can get a stepped piece of strong plastic or aluminum to do the same... |

I've got wood too, but I'm not sticking it in my primary case!

I had no luck with wood, it would just split and tear up. I used a scrap piece of aluminum (an old sliding door channel smashed flat in a vice). It still sits in the tool box and works perfectly. Rumor has it you can get a towel wrapped up in both sprockets to immobilize it as well. I'd just find our buy a short scrap of aluminum. |

That's why you have to use a soft wood like pine... |

4" to 4-1/8" of about 1/4" aluminum that about 1" wide (wider is okay) will work. Round the ends a little to match the chain sprockets. The one below was made out of a piece of fibreglas scrap from a boatyard and worked great.

I finally got a 1-1/8 socket today, and tried a piece of wood inbetween the sprockets, it just kept getting spit out. Next I just stuck the piece of soft framing wood between the sprocket and chain and it locket it in really well. I used an air impact to remove the nut, so not much pressure on the clutch and chain. I don't think this would cause any more problems than jamming shop rags in the chain/sprocket mesh. |

You're not supposed to use an impact wrench on the crankshaft nut. Apparently, you can get the pressed together crank halves out of alignment with each other. It's also not supposed to be good for the magnets inside the rotor. I'm pretty sure you didn't screw your crank up, but why take a chance? You'll need a locking bar to torque the crank nut down properly. I have some scrap aluminum laying around, I could make one for you pretty easily. PM a mailing address and I'll ship it to you. |
