Removing Countershaft sprocket on SV

What are you guys using to get that big ass nut off the countershaft?

 

A big ass socket!!!

 

I'm usually a bystander 'round these parts, but I always love the humor Tracee!!
I hope Art saw that one coming...

 

32mm socket, breaker bar, 2x4 through the spokes of the rear wheel to keep it from turning. Or use an impact wrench.

 

What Rich said, or...

You can have someone stand on the rear brake lever too.

I have an air compressor, so I just fire it up, and hit the nut with the gun, and it spins right off.

When you install the nut, put some silicone/RTV on it.

 

Sears sells them by the piece, genersally not set comes with something that big.

 

Don't forget that there's a crush washer underneath that nut that has to have the tabs bent down before anything will turn.

 

That piece was lost long before I bought the bike. That's what the silly-cone is for.

 

Hey Art, I use mental telepathy. It worked on my oil leak. If ya need any help let me know me and Sil-Var will come over.

 

Hey Rich, I was just reading about you racing at Oak Hill, in a future issue of RW, what, did you get third on an SV?

 

Uh, yeah, but only because Laroy Montgomery crashed. And I wasn't exactly fighting for second. But thanks for noticing.

 

How in the world are you and a five foot silver woman gonna help me get that big ass nut off?
