900ss 1e 2000 Model Alternator Nut Removal

you won’t regret it

 

Remember to get that green thread lock for re-install. The heavy duty stuff.

 

Obviously a holding tool is better than using a coin but if you are stuck this works. You don't need an impact tool, a breaker bar will get it off. However it's very f'n tight.

 

yes, can be very tight and the fact it's such a shallow nut it needs a good fitting full-hex socket with the starting chamfer ground off. I think we all started using a breaker bar but both the need to restrain the crankshaft plus the risk of slipping on the shallow nut can both be removed with above impact gun.

 

I thought that this was a carby bike issue only?

 

Even though it's s Nicol Engineering 2 part locknut arrangement he's planning to fit??

 

I hadn't taken in that part. It'll just be 140Nm then.
