Moderator Cynic Posted July 16, 2010 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2010 Far as i know it is, can you not see a couple of turns on the shaft past the nut? Vez will be the man to know...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spleenless Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 ok ta unfortunatly the nut is flush with the shaft so can't see any thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vez Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Its a r/h thread. But it tightens itself up something silly. To get it undone in the past i have fitted an old chain had a friend hold the back brake on and swung on it for England (probably not good advice but its what i had to do at the time) Since then i have made a little tool to hold the sprocket in place while i undo the nut.

2 Wheels Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 great thanx Vez I'll use the old chain to jam in gap employ my son as ballast ( he wants the bike , no chance. )and then use a 4' bar for leverage. cheers If you are thinking of jamming the old chain between the sproket and the engine casing then------ DONT DO THAT. 1st gear Back brake on Then loosen the nut. It is a right hand thread So it loosens to the left A quick jirk at the nut is easier if it is really tight. ie, hit the end of the socket lever with a hammer.
