I have to go and buy the tool today to remove the triple trees and the swing arm - from the guys who may have experienced this already, what do I need? Is this a standard socket of LARGE size...do you know what size it is to save me from measuring everything????

Thanks.

I'm not sure about a tool to remove the swing arm, should just be a socket for that.

The tripple tree nut on top is 36 or 37mm I think. The manuel says you need a special wrench to remove the two ring things after you take the top nut off. You don't need that wrench. Those rings shouldn't be much more than hand tight. Mine were easy to get off, and if I recall correctly the torque spec for those isn't much.

Ok, then I definitely have the triple tree socket already - because I have already removed the front pulley. I just need to find the **** thing. I spent all weekend finally getting my cabinets built and everything put away. But the only things that I can find are the things that I found and put away. No record of the things that I had already lost and still can't find.

Also, I need to go find the locking key that holds the left side oil tank cover on - there is a small star nut with a pin in the center that requires a special star allen head.

How are you gonna clear coat them? I can't find anything or anyone that can make it stick. They all say that it is to smooth.


Not sure. I haven't looked into that yet. I may not be able to do it. I may just keep it as is and figure something else out later.

I went to Discount Auto and picked up the 36mm and a 1-1/16th - equivalent to a 26/27mm. Worked like a charm. I can't believe I went that long with an impact wrench. Had the whole thing off in about 13 seconds.
