I did it with breaker bar and ya its a tuff one    wraped a towel around a metal bar and put it thru the rear wheel (watch out for your valve stem) and gave the breaker bar all I could   she came off but it is defenitly on there...

Did you do it pulling up , and to tha left ? I thought about that but, my cover and stuff was in tha way on my left hand side. Also, i did'nt want to use a extension on tha socket and breaker bar.

I took the panel off and also placed a towel over the fuel tank just in case once the wheel was blocked I used a hollow metal bar and slid it over my breaker bar and turned counter clockwise or up until she poped lose

it took some doing but she came loose
I also used some liquid wrench on it

i used a breaker bar and a malet to wack it. i had a 2x4 in the rim. worked for me.
good luck

How long of a ext did you use ?

(C_Henry @ Nov. 20 2006,17:40) How long of a ext did you use ?

it was a about 2ft. long with the breaker bar and the metal pipe i slid over the breaker bar

wrap a rag around the breaker bar and then slide the pipe over the bar...the rag will help keep the them from slip'in apart

make sure to use a little liquid wrench on C.S. and she should go

when she breaks loose you will hear a loud poping noise

I actually used a post from a bicycle seat for my ext.

had it laying aroumd worked good

changed out another members C.S. the same way

+1 on the breaker bar, make sure the bike is stable.

Thats for sure when you start torq'in that nut if the bike isent on a stand or stable over she will go

Not trying to be stupid, but did you take out the allen bolt in the center of the big nut?

Yea, it was out . I'm gonna try a long breaker bar, with some liquid wrench.

Did you buy it used ?

What is the ft/lbs torque rating for the front sprocket nut re-installation? And the ft/lbs torque rating for the smaller allen-head bolt re-installation?

I changed to a 16t front sprocket last night too. I used the above suggestion of a 2x4 to stop the rear wheel from spinning and a breaker bar on the front sprocket nut. Worked well, popped right off.

Right click and download the manual.

I got it new Rhythm . I've got a 16 on it now, but I'm going back to a 17 for tha street. 16-42 is just too much with a 1397 on tha street. I think 17-42 will be perfect for me.
Also , thanks for those tourqe specs !
