Message: [QUOTE="Daisycutter, post: 591980, member: 41678"] I can’t seem to be able to remove my front sprocket. This is normal maintenance that I’m performing where I intend to replace the chain, sprockets, chain guides, etc. Is the 12mm bolt that holds the front sprocket on a reverse thread? I know ideally to get the bolt off I should have an impact wrench. Does anybody have another way to immobilize the front sprocket when torquing the bolt? I tried placing a long handle screwdriver through a lightening hole in the rear sprocket and throwing the chain across the sprockets and then letting the screwdriver “lock-up” against the swingarm as I torqued on the bolt. I bought the bike used recently. It’s been well used but has had incredibly good care/maintenance. Please help me Obi Wan… You’re my only hope. [/QUOTE]
