[QUOTE="rmxfixme, post: 1283738, member: 16548"] KIPS removal – 2002 KDX 220 What’s the best way to hold the horizontal shaft when removing (and installing) the nut on the left hand side that holds the gear on. It was on very tight. I tried wrapping the right-hand-side gear with a cloth and holding it with vice grips but was worried about breaking off the teeth or snapping the shaft. I heated the nut, but it still wouldn’t budge. The manual just says remove the nut – no other info. Without holding the shaft or the gear the only thing stopping rotation is the gears mashing into each other. I decided to just torque it off and – you guessed it – I broke the rear tooth off of the gear! After 10 minutes of the “you f***ing idiot” dance in the garage I decided to seek help from this group. The gear actually still works – the rear tooth never fully engages in the rack. There are always 2 teeth fully engaged. I could probably re-use it but I’ll buy a new one anyways. What do you guys do?
