Yes well an air impact wrench may be the way forward, however a guy has offered to change sprockets and chain for £30 whereas to just rivet the chain was a £15 job (mobile guy - comes to house).
Rather than fart around this time, might just give him the job, go and get a new tab washer and wait on the result. I must say though that the whole servicing process this time around (and last time) has been a thoroughly rewarding experience. I have undertaken jobs which I have never done before and found them pretty easy to do. The only fear I have is fear of the unknown. |

I used about a 5 -6 ft breaker bar. That nut had been on there from new and wasn't touched until I undid it at 15k miles and over 5years old. Just grit your teeth and go for it Rob. ![]() Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage that may occur to machine or man if the above advice is followed. ![]() |

had another go this morning, still wont budge an inch. Thinks Ill just pay the £30 and get it done for me. Too bloody difficult to get off and I dont have an impact wrench available.
On a side, phoned the local bike shop this morn for a new lock washer - they have to order them in at a couple of quid a time!? Are they as expensive as this? I thought it was just a generic washer?? |

It's not a generic washer but should cost less than £1.20

Front sprockets come in 2 flavours: finger tight and welded on. Best of luck.

It would be helpful to you though if you could watch the mechanic as he undoes it. Should help the next time. |
