just tried breaking the engine sprocket nut loose....broke 2 sockets!!! 1/2 breaker bar with pipe extension....POP any other way? also how do i lock up the clutch hub nut? | ||

Air or electric impact gun. Why are you pulling the sprocket? | ||
| Jersey_thunder |
hey just, stator went, i thought you weren't suposed to use a impact on it? JT | ||

Yikes! TWO sockets? Well, that's what 240 ft-lbs and red loctite will get you, I guess. Don't use an impact gun. I've heard that from a few people I trust. But an impact SOCKET with a yet larger breaker bar or pipe might be a good idea at this point. Al | ||

Heat does the trick! Because of the red Loctite you got to heat that nut and I really mean heat To lock up the primary unit you need a primary locking bar.Clutch nut is left threaded. How did you try to loose the engine sprocket nut without locking the primary?  Ralph (Message edited by xldevil on March 12, 2007) | ||

Dealers use impact guns. Their locking tool is a hard plastic wedge shaped like a small staircase. It's jammed between the chain & clutch basket. Use a torque wrench to tighten. | ||

impact guns may vastly shorten the life of your stator -- newer replacements are even shipped with the warning stamped into them . . . . lil heat will do wonders -- MAPP gas torch worked for me | ||

I just slapped in a locking bar (home fabricated) and stood on a 24" breaker bar (not a ratcheting wrench, just a breaker bar) and bounced a few times. Make sure you turn it the correct way, one of the two is backwards (Crank nut maybe?). It's in the manual. | ||

Crank is right hand thread, clutch hub is left hand thread. | ||

ok,got the sprocket nut (longer cheater bar) now, the nut on the clutch spins...took off the presser plate...can see the clutch plate, in the middle there a nut...it's spinning...now what? jt | ||
| Justin_case |
Top gear & have someone hold the rear brake. Turn clockwise to loosen. | ||

Jersey, Make a locking bar. | ||

OK....when removing the cluth hub nut...do not remove the pressure plate!!! then it won't spin.... i have it all apart...needed no pullers, or spring compression tool...need: 1 1/8 socket 1 3/16 socket breaker bar with cheater bar i pair snap snap ring pliers & a jam bar thats it... whats the correct torque specs on a 96' JT | ||
| Reepicheep |
There is an updated torque spec on the crank nut I think. The manual has a torque that is not quite tight enough. I am thinking 120 foot pounds for the crank. I stand one foot out on my breaker bar and gently bounce twice. | ||

From my manual,calls for 150-156 with red 262 threadlocker. Clutch is 70-80,again with red. | ||

Plagarist!! I recognize that.  Except it's supposed to be 150-165. (Message edited by firemanjim on March 14, 2007) |
