i took off the tire hub the 2 lock nuts and need to take the sprocket off so i can change out carriers but it wont move at all, anyonne have any suggestions on how to remove it easier??
BFH and a piece of wood to protect the threads.
Also wear glove cause the reverb off the wood will hurt your hands.
Finally got mine out today. 8lb sledge didnt move it. Finally just had to cut stuff off the axle. Cut the carrier in half. Cut a groove in the sprocket hub, bearings and spacer to expand them and get them to come off. Had to clean up the axle with a wire wheel to get rid of all the rust. Cleaned up ok. Bearings were the original one I think. Cant wait to get this thing back together in the morning.
before you put that biotch back together get some heavy equipment grease, the grease the splines under the hub, then next time you go to remove it it will come right off.
yeah i know how ya feel. im just glad my bike was my buds before i got it...and i was his mechanic so it all got replaced before i had to foot the bill
