Get a buddy to hit the rear brake or get a good strong broomstick. You'll definately need an impact wrench.

Serowbot and BurnPgh are correct according to the manual.. the threads are just standard righty tighty/lefty loosey.. and a "nut lock washer" you have to unlock. There's nothing in there about the broomstick method to hold the pulley though.. just the brake. That and the impact wrench should spin it off in no time.

Retightening torque is 72.5-94 ft*lbs.

Re: On Quick Deceleration Tire or Belt Barks Reply #19 - 12/26/09 at 22:40:45 Its pretty hard to roll the bike over a 4X4. Ill bet with one up against the rear tire with someone on the brake hard, no broomstick would be needed. Especially if a guy had an impact.

It's not just the wheel spokes you have to worry about. It's also the spokes on the rear belt pulley, and I did break one when trying to either tighten or loosen the front belt pulley. But if you have a chain, I guess that would be different too.

I acquired a drive pulley with worn out teeth. Not that I intend to do anything with it, just a warning. Did you tighten the Drive Pulley Nut?

And what tension did you tighten the belt too?

No way was it going to roll forward as I broke that pulley nut loose!

My belt tension was really too loose. It had untensioned slack on the bottom run. I used the tensioner that came in the tool kit. I know many of you do not like it. However it should give repeatable readings. I only had to tighten a little to get the excess slack out. I had it pretty loose before. It is not overly tight now. The twist method is not very accurate and not repeatable. Too subjective for the final adjustment. I did not tighten the drive pulley. It did not seem necessary since it has a lock washer and tightening the belt stopped the noise. My belt was so loose that I believe it sort of wadded up in the front pulley on deceleration, thus scrubing the sides of the pulley. If I am wrong, let me know...Dan

I want one. It is not so bulky as some. Please direct me to where I can purchase one. About what does it cost too? Thanks, Dan

I recently had the belt guards off and noted how loose the belt seems. But I've had none of the issues you've stated.
