.. looks like its 32mm to me... damn.. off to the tool store to buy me the right sized socket...
But whats this? The thing gets torqued up to 186Nm :o :o ?? FMD, I have no idea how I'm gonna get it that tight.
put the gearbox in a high gear and hold the back brake
or
a piece of wood through the rear wheel against the swingarm
i usually rattle gun it off with the old chain fitted and the engine in neutral holding the rear wheel with my hand, that way the old chain takes the pounding.
i refit it with the motor in first and torque it up against the compression. if it won't hold i'd put my foot on the brake pedal too, altho it's a bit of a contortionists act on your own.
