impact wrench front sprocket removal? (Read 95 times)

Posts: 109	impact wrench front sprocket removal? 12/13/11 at 21:06:37 Anyone have experience using an air impact wrench to remove the front sprocket? The swing arm is off so I cant lock up the rear wheel to use a breaker bar. I've heard that you can use an impact wrench but have no idea how this is done or if there is any danger to it.

I forget what size, 9, 10 or 11. 1/4" drive with straight sides. too big and it slips out, so start big.

I've never used an impact wrench before. There seems to be a speed (torque?) adjustment with four settings. Which one should I use?

Not necessarily. There are several cases of the pulley splines wearing down. That can only happen if the pulley move on the shaft. If it can move on the shaft, it means the nut isn't tight enough, which means you might need to overcome only the friction of the locking gizmo built into the end of the nut.
