Crashtd420 Posted August 24 Author Report Share Posted August 24 I still don't understand the need for 250ftlb on the nut but atleast I have a way to remove it.... I first punch marked the nut and hub to hopefully put it back on at the same torque.... This was the recommendation to prevent the wheel from spinning while removing the nut... bolt an angle Iron to the hub..... with a large cheater bar.... I had 46 mm wrenches for my atv so I put them to work.... c clamp keeps them from spreading.... Needed a little extra cheat.... This side was starting to leak too so I'm glad I had 2 on hand... pads and adjusters were fine after a healthy bath of brake cleaner.... Just need the wife to help bleed the system and she should be back to driving.... 3 Quote Link to comment

I have a friend with a Sunbeam specialty shop down in San Diego, and the Alpines and Tigers have a similar spec. He has an 8ft piece of tubing that he keeps just for removing that nut. It usually requires more than one person leaning on the extension just to break it loose. Freaks me out everytime.. 2 Quote Link to comment

Crashtd420 Posted Thursday at 11:59 AM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:59 AM Well the bus had a rough day yesterday as did my datsun.... all within an hour of each other..... I'm pretty sure the clutch disk broke apart, atleast that's what I hope it is... She made it to the stop sign at the end of the road and upon taking off she heard some noise and lost all transfer of power to the transaxle... Luckily I have been making room to fit both vehicles in my work shop for the winter.... I'll be pulling the engine soon to inspect the clutch... I also have to check the gas tank out while I have the engine out. The sender for the gauge sort of works, but to get it out you have to remove the tank. And to get the tank out you have to remove the engine... So I'll be getting that going this weekend too... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted Thursday at 12:02 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:02 PM I have to give my wife credit she has been driving it almost every day.. So it doesn't surprise me that old parts will fail ... one thing I found is it may have a rigid disk, and the replacement has springs. They sell both... I assume the springs help ease engagement, so I'll be getting that type for her. 1 Quote Link to comment
