charliechitlins Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 --Replace the flywheel and turn it so one of the holes is at 12 o'clock. --Measure the distance from that hole to the bend in the frame just above the swingarm pivot. --Drill 2 holes in a bar (or get a piece of that angle iron with holes in it used for metal shelving), put a bolt in each hole and secure with nuts. --One of these bolts will go into the hole in the flywheel (not too far, or it'll bugger up your stator), and the other will rest against said crook in the frame. This simple doodad will keep the flywheel from turning while you apply the proper amount of torque, I'm sure it could be adapted to other brands, but I like Shercos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Nah. If you've seen him ride, you know he spends LOTS more time on the net than on his bike. I chalk it up to his having kids. They're like intellectual Black Holes - if you get too close to them for too long, your brain disappears into them, never to escape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I'm trying to think of something clever. Check back later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Is this for real Simply use a nematic of electric impact driver (and hold the flywheel with a cloth). The ones they use to get the nuts off of cars wheels. Bought my electric impact driver down the local Car Accessories shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 There are plenty of people who mark the nut and replace it with an impact, and I haven't heard of any problems. I just feel safer with a torque wrench. I need less things to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
348mate Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) you could also spend the equivilant of 4/5 packets of fags and treat yourself to a proper flywheel holding tool, which will do virtually any bike flywheel...

charliechitlins Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Too easy. No fun. And it would probably look a lot like mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaby Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 And it would probably look a lot like mine. Like this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 That one looks pretty 'fixed'. Mine is the 'infinitely adjustable' model. Just drill another hole and move the bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin j Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 another home made version. Fits flywheels, sprockets, and clutch hubs outside and inside. Looks tacky but its old and was quick at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin j Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 PS. I use the air gun to remove, and to very loosely assemble, but like charlie I use a wrench for final tightening. Even my 3/8 gun has the potential to take the threads out of the nut, or possibly off the crankshaft. I just don't want the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
