This is frustrating. I got all the parts together. Put on a hi energy coil, did a rejet with a #128 main, installed lowering links, put on aux hi beams and can't get this stinking nut off.
Maybe I need a bigger wife

I work from the otherside
Lean over the side of the bike with one foot on the rear bike.....Cant remember but maybe hand on front brake as well....Working from the oppisite side with the kickstand down alows you to lay on the bike....And the sprocket nut comes right off....Piece of cake..

horizonod,
If your bike is rideable. . . . take it to a automotive service facility and ask them to impact-gun it loose and then snug it back up enough for you to ride it home. You don't see any rust/corrosion at the end of the threaded shaft, do you? I hit the countershaft nut on my bike for about 1/2 second with a good 1/2 inch drive impact gun and the nut spun right off!

No rust. I've soaked it with pen oil several times. Went to Lowes last night and got a 525 ft lb impact gun cranked the compressor up to 150 psi and laid on it...........................not a budge.
I got the 1/2 in. breaker bar back out and had my son, 6'2" - 240lbs, stand on the brake and hold down the rear. It started moving slowly. It didn't "pop" loose. I thought for sure I was rounding the nut but it did turn and I got the sprocket changed.
