Hey guys, any ideas apart from the usual on how to shift a MEGA tight engine sprocket nut? It’s not rust/corrosion as it’s brand new bike!
Re: Sprocket
Impact socket gun is the way to go + a bit of heat!
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Normally that is the way to go, (but there are socket guns and there are socket guns) but if it's a lock nut, or is fixed with loctite, sometimes all that happens is each impact just moves it a tiny bit and the loctite or locking whatever doesn't move and it springs back.
In that case, constant pressure from a long breaker bar is required.
Cheers,
Mark.
