actually just checked... the kit I ordered comes with a chain press/break tool...

as for when I should get it... that's the million dollar question. I ordered it on Wed... with delivory expected on Tues... but Thursday late afternoon I got an e-mail saying that the website had an error on it and wanted to know what color banjo's I wanted with my Galfer lines... so I sent it back saying what ever was normal was fine (silver I think :idk:) but still haven't gotten a shipping conformation or tracking number... I'll be fuck'n pissed if it hasn't shipped yet!

I'd still double check the chain length. They usually come in standard lengths that aren't quite right.

I had my bike on the rearstand with my dad holding the rear brake. Having the weight on the rear wheel might have helped.

yeah I'm thinking I'll take it down off the stands to break it loose.. gonna have to try and get someone to lend me a hand...

have to see if Amorok is free... and thursty :lol:

"Go to Home depot, buy an electric impact gun, use it to break the front sprocket loose and return it, just dont get it dirty. Also, if you are gonna use a impact gun, make sure that you have the rear brake on, the impact gun has enuff force to spin the rear tire, and roll your bike forward and off a side stand."

Derf do you know this from xperience? A bad day full of F bombs i take it

Yeh dude, I'm a riot when I have a project and a case of beer.

thats got a trip to the er written all over it :lol:

I may try to swap my chain tomorrow too. I realy need t get the forks off and get them to the shop though and trying to swap a chain with the whole front end off has too much potential for disaster.

Usually said trip to the ER is preceded by the words hold my beer an watch this shit. :rockout:

Or, "hel(, that's easy, let me show you how it's done!"

Service manual, perhaps?

yeah just found the manual and down loaded it. though I'm thinking things like hold the rear brake and put the bike against a wall when breaking loose the front sprocket aren't on there :lol:
