If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Flywheel puller question

Why is it that everywhere I look the flywheel puller for a 1982 gs1100e is described as a 30mmx1.5mm 2 inch depth when in actuality it is a 35mmx1.5x3-4"? I ordered the one I was not supposed to, because I foolishly went by the description rather than measuring. Are other bikes besides mine equipped with 30mm threads?
 
I hate my life haha I found another manufacturer that actually said that they changed mid run. Good by $50, hello needing to spend $50.
 
And another thing!! Does anyone have one of these I can use for like 2 minutes? I am in Rhode Island, anyone nearby?

Just buy a bolt with the right thread and make up a puller yourself. Just weld a long (18" to 24") bolt with slide hammer on it to the metric bolt that you have purchased. Screw it into the rotor and slide away. About 10 minutes work. If you can't visualise what I'm talking about I can send you a pic if you send me your email address on a PM.

Cheers
 
I had already thought of this route, and abandoned it for the puller I ordered. But i was not able to find a 35mm nut locally, anyplace in particular you think might have one?
 
Does the rotor have an internal thread tapped into it. Only visible after the bolt holding it in place has been removed.
 
Urg, I was tired. My rotor is externally threaded. I would need to buy a 35mm nut, thread it on and weld some arms to the side and use a slide hammer on that. I am not against it, but where the crap am I going to get a 35mmx1.5mm nut.
 
I am from OZ so I can't help you with that. Maybe some locals can chime in and let you know. There must be some big machinery around that uses metric nuts that big. lathes, etc.
