Front cog nut! Arrr!

Nope, anticlockwise to undo.

And just realised the link I posted earlier does not show the power Wrench in action. Now rectified.

Yep, needed an air impact wrench to get mine to shift. Then it came off no problem.

Torque it back up though.

I don't know if it's the same on the pointy (i would presume it would be) but normally the washer has an edge turned up against the nut to stop it coming loose. I forgot to flatten mine out and it was a right pain to try and undo.

Yes the same. You have removed the washer before starting right?

I didn't think it was neccessary to mention the locktab as it's so obvious to even the most incompetent of mechanics, but clearly I should have.





To be honest I forgot.

yeah, I flattened the tab washer out.Bit of a bandit to get at though, looks like thay do that with a machine that probably makes it effortless but no thought to geeting it back off at service.I mean you couldn't get a fag paper in there never mind a flat blade driver!Not sure, might just take the cogs n chain to a a local garage rather than risk making a complete mess of it!Cheers for input peeps

Always start with the basics Pete, obviously i'm rather basic

Ive just taken mine off to change chain and sprockets, had exactly the same problem. The cause..... red loctite!! First off we tried jumping on the spanner, wouldnt budge. Then my uncle brought his compresserd air impact drill thingy and we battered away at it for about 15 minutes untill it finally came loose.

Mines a K3 pointy, same as yours, and it was the origional sprocket, so maybe it is a thing Suzuki did on the K3s??!

Nothing different on the K3, I would guess it could be the fact the sprocket has been there for 5 years!

We managed mine with just fat mate on bike, 1st gear, break on, and longish breaker bar. It still took a lot of trying though!
