    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...

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.

Stuck Rotor

Hello all,
I'm trying to get the rotor of my son's 82 GS1100EZ so we can replace the starter clutch bolts that sheared off.
I bought the flywheel tool and this thing is really stubborn. We used an impact wrench on it and all we managed to do is strip the tool.
I've been soaking it with PB Blaster. We also tried to put heat on it and it just won't budge.
Any suggestions will be a great help.

Thanks

Ernie
 
Ernie, did you get the aftermarket puller or the Suzuki tool from the factory? I do these ALL the time & the threads are softer on the aftermarket ones. I ONLY use the ones from Suzuki as they are just better made. Don't get discouraged as I had a crank & rotor kill 3 pullers on me once before it let go! I finally put my last new puller on it & put GOOD pressure on it with a 1/2 inch air impact & then hit the puller bolt pretty good with a hammer & it popped right off! The thing had NEVER been off before & was a BEAR! Good luck, Ray.
 
Make Your Own Puller

Make Your Own Puller

Make your own puller Ernie. I did. I know it does not look flash, but the slide hammer idea worked for me. Use a good high tensile steel bolt that threads into the rotor. My rotor had loctite on the taper and was very stubborn. This was my third attempt to get the rotor off and thankfully worked.

Thanks for all the ideas. I'll be working on that once the new tool comes in. By the way the tool was made by Motion Pro.

I'd be nervous about the side load that would put on the main bearings.
