front sprocket removal
I searched the forums for instructions to remove the front sprocket. What is the best course of action? What size of socket? Or is there a special tool?
Thanks for your help.

so 1 1/16 socket, and what a breaker bar? I assume an impact would be too much for it.
thanks

Nope...Impact is the way to go. Make sure your socket is a 6 point impact socket. A 12 point may round over the nut. It's a tight sucker

You can get someone to hold the brake, or stick a 2x4 through the rim and let it rest on the swingarm. It's a 27mm socket.
Better get a long cheater bar as some of them are more than tight.

Make sure you push back "ALL" the lock tabs that hold the sprocket nut on. There are 2 hex nuts you can use a 6 point socket on, the smaller one is a 27 MM and the larger one
that is flush againt the sprocket is a 1 1/16 or 35 MM but the depth on it is not as deep as the 27 MM. You will see when you are looking at it.

This is covered well in page 6 of Shanes build thread with good photos.
http://www.bikeland.org/board/viewthread.php?FID=27&TID=40269&pagenumber=6
a six sided DEEP socket 27mm is the correct size (this is a metric bike!)
1 1/16 is 26.98mm and will do fine but is NOT 35mm!

I have a sprocket nut in front of me and Digital Caliper that goes metric and standard. The larger nut is a ruff casting and measures several different values from 34.89 to 34.77. My Bad the 1 1/16 is the small nut. This nut measures from 27.17 to27.03 on this one. Both hex nuts are a ruff casting and they will differ a bit. You are correct about the 26.98 being
a 1 1/16 . And thanks for the info. I think we all know where a 14 is made. :-)
