    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

need help ASAP!!!!!!

82 1100e need to know what size the big nut that holds the sprocket on is, also any tips on getting the philliips head screws out. any advise appreciated. thank you
 
For the phillips head screws get a impact driver. If you have a Sears, NAPA, auto parts store they should have one. Make sure that the kit has a #2 and #3 phillips bit. Spray some penetrating oil on the screws that you want to extract. Leave the penetrating oil work its magic overnight. The impact driver should get the screws out.

IYou didn't mention if you stripped the heads on any of the screws? If so you will need to use a dremel tool to cut a bigger slot so that you can get a bigger screwdriver into the screw head.
 
been out in the garage do these really need to come out to remove sprocket? am changin to 530. the nut is bigger than a 1 1/8 inch, i know it will be in millimeters?
 
If the same as my '79 1000, the nut is 32mm. You do not remove the 3 recessed Phillips screws.
Not positive, but the re-torque is around 60 ft/lb on the nut. Be certain the holding washer you bend over the nut is in good shape to be re-used if you don't buy new. Don't use the same bent over section again. I suggest new. Only a couple bucks. The nuts commonly loosen up with only the bent over washer holding it.
 
I wouldn't go smacking the output shaft with a hammer/impact driver, espectially when it's completely unnecessary.

BTW, you may need an impact wrench to get the nut off.
 
the sprocket comes off after you straighten the bent washer out. I took my sprocket off with a regular half inch drive ratchet, no problem.
