formula1 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I cant seem to get that bolt off I sprayed it with some lube, used a 32mm socket on it, put it in gear and put the rear tires so they wont move. Seems to be on there so tight. I assume it is regular threaded. I guess I will have to wait until I get free and bring it into work and use an impact gun unless anybody has any tips?

kodie Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Get ya a pipe a foot or 2 feet long and use that as leverage with your ratchet handle. Put the ratchet inside the pipe and give her a twist. Should twist off with the pipe as leverage. The bigger the pipe the less force you will need to use to get it broke loose.

TwistedSheeRida Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I use an impact to take it off. Doesnt need to be put on too tight since theres a tabbed washer that locks it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 did you hammer the tabs of the lockwasher down flat? you should replace that washer each time, they are only about $2 from yamaha, ive re-used them in the past and then have trouble getting the nut back off because there is a bump in the metal washer you cant thread the nut past, make sure that washer is beaten flat, use a flathead and a rubber mallet , order a couple spares from yamaha, along with the nut that holds it on, ive had one strip out while riding 100 miles from home, if only i spent the $5 and had one in my toolbox!

Yeah I hammered it down flat. Good idea though I will go get some from Yamaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Juris Doctor Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yeah I hammered it down flat. Good idea though I will go get some from Yamaha. On the front sprocket, one side is smooth and the other side has a groove all the way around it. Which side should be pointint out toward my foot - the flat side or the grooved side??
