Come on admit it you can touch it while Wednesday because you ate the peanut butter and have to go shopping for more Dam,it would of been off by now if only you’d used the peanut butter
Yeah I know, but I can`t believe it`s still stuck fast. Look at the picture in post 210, a hard stare should be enough to make that sprocket fall off. I still think the sprocket tabs or the splines have become distorted and that is what is holding it. A bead of weld around the sprocket close to the spline may get it off, an old engineer told me that years ago, it concentrates the heat better than a naked flame, and if you wrap a wet rag behind the sprocket the heat won`t damage the oil seal.
Did you read where my GPZ1100 front sprocket came off with fingers after over 20 years of being stood this one is a strange one...
I thought you were going to suggest drilling through sprocket and attaching a 749 light casting by a single M6 bolt, you could stop a planet with that thing
Yes it is. The front sprocket on my 20 year old XR 250 slipped off with similar ease after years of off road abuse. The previous owner was thrashing it around his moto cross track until I saved it from an unloved ending.
After reading this thread for the past two weeks, I began to feel restless. I wondered -what must it be like to be Paul? To faced with this enormous challenge against such a formidable enemy... I couldn't sleep properly and thought about it all the time. I had to know if I could gaze upon a Sprocket of my own, stare into its eyes, see its black heart and not run away. Would my trusty Chrome vanadium spanners & socket set wound this beast? Could I grab it with both hands and tear it off its spline to victory? I woke today and knew it was time... Took twenty mins start to finish including washing my hands. Easiest job in the world on a 1980 trailbike.
