Hello

Am I right in thinking that to remove the front chain sprocket on a D1 Bantam, I need to remove the left side cover that houses the point and flywheel thing or am I missing something that will allow me to remove it without the cover coming off?

If this is the case, the manual states to lock the flywheel in place you have to lock the engine via the conrod, there must be a better easier way surely??

thanks

Hi,

Yes you need to remove the cover to access the sprocket nut.

I have used a battery powered impact wrench to remove and fit the nut for a while now without any problems (and you dont need to lock the rod with this).

They come loose easily so you should use a locking washer - having said that using the wrench I no longer use a washer (I use a thicker sprocket so there isn't as much room/threads on the sleave gear.

cheers
