    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...

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.

Rotor

Hi Mr. Craig54,

Here's a page from the manual available on my little website. It says to loosen the rotor bolt by turning counter-clockwise.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Rotor

Thanks BassCliff

I finally got it out what a mission I think it had locktite on it
Next trick is to get the rotor off
I will have a go at making up a puller tomorrow.

Hi CRAIG54 how did you get the rotor off. Did you make up a puller, if so how did you do it. I am trying to get mine off my 550B.
Thanks.
 
I got my rotors off with a rubber mallet banging gently around from the other side. Dont hit it with anything hard or only in one spot as you dont want to bend or dent it :)

That works for brake rotors, but won't do a thing for the rotor on the end of the crankshaft...

I was just thinking, MAN that sounds too easy. How DO you get those off without that imfamous expensive specialty tool?
 
Rotor

GS 1000g
I ended up using a home made puller to get the rotor off

20mm threaded rod threading through a nut welded on to a crossbar
2 arms with flat bar welded to ends

I had to get my son to hold the two arms in place and the threaded rod kept trying to jump off the bolt
but I got it off .

You're right there Brian. No way I could get the rotor off my 550 with that method. Does anyone know what the female thread is that is on the inside of the rotor on the 550. I read somewhere that it was 16mm x 1.5mm pitch. I bought the bolt and it would not fit. It looks more like 14mm, but I don't know the pitch. A spark plug has a similar thread but will only screw in a couple of threads before coming tight.
