JT! Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 No, they never come loose. In fact people give themselves injurys trying to get the blighters off! They tighten as you pedal. :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 o.k thanks I will try that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 o.k thanks I will try that! ← Try what? Just shove it on finger tight, get your bike setup, and just pedal around for a bit. Its what everyone does, its realy fun! It'll NEVER come loose, not a chance. :ermm: :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Dean, put some grease on the thread, it will help if you need to get the spro' off in the future. Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Get the grinder out. Cut it in half/cut a slot and force it open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what i said on the other topic, works like a charm. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montybiketrial Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Put the sprocket in the vice, nice n tight with 2 teeth making contact with the vice on each side. Get a peice of bar... box section is best, slide it down the full lenght of your crank and gently (and i mean gently or ull end up the other side of the garage bleeding and swearing!) push the bar anti clockwise (crank should be facing upwards) keep applying more and more force until it unscrews. Never failed on me and never screwed up a sprocket or freewheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
