Yeap, that is the mans way! A piece of wood is needed for the weaker mechanics...

By differance I ment the aplication of red loctite, as that it what was holding mine on.

I guess we will see when Cam_73 finally get it off if it has red loctite on it too.

Comes with loctite from the factory, whether you use it afterwards is a personal/mechanics preference, which makes it no different to every other SV.

I use loctite, and a big cracking bar to get them off again.

The woman's way is the impact driver...............why make things harder than they need be


Just don't do as I did, girls, and lean your boob against the driver..............it bruises soft bits

I use loctite because I couldn't be rsed getting a new nut. But then again I couldn't be rsed putting the front cover on either, so can very easily check if it's backed off at all.
