Installed DPS 18 g today, used a custom made of wood prehistoric tool.

Works ok though.

However was not able to unscrew the clutch nut -- lifted the scoot 4-5 times but the nut stayed (nice exercise). Maybe next time will ask someone to sit on pillion

Never used anything special to remove mine many a time. A electric or air powered impact gun spins the nut off with no problem. Removed mine every 5k miles to clean it out. So with putting 46k+ miles on it that would be many a time.

Work of art, would have that on the living room wall.

Thanks, Ralph -- there's still a paper with dimensions somewhere in the garage, i can find it if interested. It's a 1.5-2 hours work.

Desert Rat. How do you torque it back on then? Or do ou just hit it with the impact again?

 

[cliffyk]

Using an lower torque electric or pneumatic impact tool an experienced user can just "hit it" with the wrench and get them sufficiently/properly tight.

However I prefer to use torque sticks of the proper value as that is a much more accurate method.

HF stk # 69870:

Using a 65 lb-ft stick to torque the clutch bell nut:

Torque sticks are accurate to ±3%, the same/a bit better than most clicker-type torque wrenches, and like any torsion spring remain that way forever unless they break...

Thanks for the thought, but I am useless at wood, I still think it's brilliant.

Just hit it again. Depending upon what kind of torque wrench you are using you don't want to sit there keep hitting it. I set my air impact to setting 2 which works just fine. For those not use to using air impacts I would recommend a electric from Harbor Freight. For low torques like what is needed they will work fine.
