Seized Front Sprocket.

A bit of a conflict of images there, a masked and muscled-up tough guy, with a serious weapon on.. a bicycle??

 

His sprockets are fooked on his motorbike dude and it's an emergency

 

I'll send this set over..

 

Or plasma if preferred

 

Has it turned to dust yet?

 

I believe you have struggled with the cutting discs because it looks like you are using an imperial size disc, a metric one would have this job jobbed in minutes.
If you take the unused discs back, I`m sure B&Q will gladly swap them for metric.

I take it you did try unscrewing the sprocket first, right hand thread I believe ...................

 

Maybe try left handed discs too?

 

I think Paul is right-handed

 

That would explain the difficulty.....

 

One good thing is your partner will feel secure in your relationship
You cant pull a sprocket so you would never pull another bird

 

When the wife starts making dry comments about it being the only thing stiff and it'll be the only thing sticking around

 

We're out of ideas. I was done when you cut the sprocket and a flat screwdriver in the cut and then twisted, wouldn't work.

 

Sell the handbag & pay for a professional to fix it

 

Better still, keep the handbag and buy a scrambler.

 

by far best joke of the day Steve ^

 

Are the splines on the shaft damaged? Could you have distorted the sprocket when you used a puller, and now the tabs on the inside of the sprocket are jammed tight on the splines?
If so, my only suggestion would be to cut across the face of the sprocket, as close to the shaft splines as you can, then the remaining sprocket tabs can be "GENTLY" tapped out the splines with a small drift.
Hope that makes sense.

 

Ffs 16 pages on ideas on how to remove a sprocket.

Removed yet?

 

Come on Evo, how would you tackle it? this thread needs a fresh perspective - could a barrow be involved?

 

If this goes on any longer I think us paddy's should extradite you !
