i just bought a new front sprocket and am having a little trouble with the bolt on the stock one.....before i put big muscle in it and screw something up, any tips???

 

Gonna need an impact wrench...

 

dang, i was ready to try it out, guess i'll have to line one up, cuz i put all the muscle i had into it and it didnt budge

 

Impact is nice but if you do not have one or want to buy it, try putting a cheater bar on your 1/2' breaker bar. The cheater is a 3-5' pipe that slides onto the breaker bar. Adds a hell of a lot of leverage.

 

putting a breaker bar on it will end up turning the rear wheel... if this happends its nice to have a friend to step on the rear break to keep it locked then you should be able to break the nut free...

 

Take it to a shop if all else, it takes about 10 minutes to do the change and might cost ya 30 bucks if you know a reasonable shop...

If you use an impact wrench keep the bike in gear and hit it. It won't tear anything up, despite what you are thinking. I thought it too...

 

cool, i was thinking it would.... i should pick up my impact wrench within the hour, cant wait to get it on there and try it. what gear do you suggest?

 

well, here we go, time for the test run!!!!!!!

 

omg.................wow.............it's a new bike. should i get a +2 for the back now, or do you guys think that wouldnt be a good combo???
