drive sprocket headache

JK, I had this problem too. You need to use a really fast torque impact wrench to make it easier. I didn't have one so I got a big breaker bar and yanked up as hard and as fast as I could until she broke loose. Also you did bend the big fender washer up and away from the nut right?
i did bend the washer. That thing is a pain. Id rather it was the 2 tab washer and not the round-bend-it-up kind. Did you have it in 1st? Well i just put the new chain on and the FR sprocket will have to wait. Finally got to ditch the clip-type and get a rivet type. Not that theres anything wrong with a clip type, but it was done for and the RTV silicone finally fell off the master link.R1up0n1 said:
:scratch: so I take it you got the nut off?JK_DILLA said:
I just remember bending the washer up flat against the back side, then putting a big socket on the nut, then grabbing a breaker bar and yanking up hard and fast then the nut broke loose with no problem.

LOW TECH SOLUTION.................
Measure the distance betwwen the sides of the swingarm at the front of the rear wheel. Now go cut a piece of 2X4 that width, and place it between the wheel and the swingarm, acting as a block to the wheel turning, and set the rear brake. Now go apply torque to the nut; it'll come loose quite easily, you won't need an impact hammer, and you wont mar your wheels, or damage the tranny.
Sometimes, low tech is best.
