    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

when i went to remove the bolt, i put the bike in 5th gear and held the rear brake like some have suggested. tried to remove bolt, used considerable effort and all i did was turn the engine over, rear wheel not moving.. would that mean my clutch pack is weak? even though i did use considerable force and a long ratchet? anyways, i just put a 19mm socket and ratchet on other end of crank and rotor bolt came right off.

the in gear/hold brake method is BS.
an impact is the only way to go.
your clutch is probably fine.
also if holding the 19mm on the ign. trigger be aware that you can twist the ears off of it.
it is not made to hold much if any pressure.
the 19mm hex engages into 2 very small ears on the timing advancer.
***CAUTION***
 
This is the safe way to go:

You described this one -- it's for the exterior threads. These guys get the job done without any worries of damaging your crank & is what I used about a year ago (borrowed the tool locally). I wouldn't mess around.

Good price -- these are typically $60 or so. There are other makes & other retailers that carry pretty much the same tool.
 
Cool! Thanks for the advice. I think I will get the external thread puller better safe then sorry..
Blower bike. If using the 19 mm on the ignition trigger is not recommended, how do you go about torquing the bolt back on the crank?
