So I stripped it (help)

[skydivr]

Too soft to be steel so yes I think so.

 

[Warchild]

Yes, 12 point and I have already been chewed out about it

Dang, too late... I was gonna give you a blast of grief if you had used a 12-point...

Glad you got it off without further damage..... is your next new tool going to be a 6-point 14mm socket?

 

[MO-BUSA]

stupid question, but should we use antisieze on those when putting them back on?

My dad was an aircraft mechanic for years. My chewing came early in life.

I just had to saw Zan 3 off them off!

Holy thread resurrection. I saw this and thought what in the world is he doing screwing around with his sprocket two weeks out from Barber when he's had all winter!!!

I saw the date and went ah....

 

[Tufbusa]

Yes, nut is soft.

zip up your fly divrman, you've got the wrong nut!

 

[Tufbusa]

Yesterday was just not my day. First I messed up that nut, then I tore he carpet up running some wires for the TV, then I managed to tear the heck out of the wall...that I am now going to have to repair...I should have just crawled back under my rock...

Question. The OEM 43 tooth sprocket fit precisely on the hub, but the JT Sprocket 44 tooth has a tiny bit of 'play' and does not fit as tight...is that going to make any difference? Has anyone else ever noticed that?

When you buy something "Made in Taiwan" you can't expect OEM quality!

 

[Tufbusa]

Trying to replace sprocket on my Gixxer. Stripped one of the nuts (47.5 ft/lbs, my azz!) they sure are soft!!

My service manual says (43.5 ft/lbs)

 

[skydivr]

I'm glad to know SteveO that you think so much about my nuts....

 

[StromBusa]

One thing for sure, you grade A mangled that one We should have a mangled parts thread, I'm sure there are others

 

[Cjbowler]

On way to pick up my replacement bolts as I type. The threads are extremely soft. I clamped the hub down and used a saw Zan to cut nuts in half.....off in 5 minutes

Oh boy are we going to have fun with the thread again?

At least it is good info for people new to wrenching on their bikes.

Best way to get it off is to heat it with a torch. It has loctite red applied to it from the factory
