speedy sie Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 right this will take 2 mins.. strip the calipers,them warm with small blow torch each piston as you do them,and smooth teeth pliers rotate them round as you pull them out,been doing this for years and even the most rusted or stuck in pistons just pulls right out,job done.

Jazoli Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I use a rawl bolt that I have cut down slightly, with heat on the caliper bodies like you do, it means you can be as rough as you like with the bolt but you don't mark the piston at all, hopefully salvaging it.

Armi Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 What about a stubborn front sprocket nut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 3/4" impact gun, shifts most stubborn things, except fat cows in chip shop queues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_H Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 3/4" impact gun, shifts most stubborn things, except fat cows in chip shop queues. Definatly, I had to borrow my mates 18v snapon rattler to get my front sprocket nut off the last time, took 3 seconds, amazing tool and on my christmas list.

Mr.Pigdog Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 True!I've been using the snap on rattler for the last 3 years-it's undone every single front sprocket nut!! Used to be a 2 man job(breaker bar etc) Make no mistakes-worth it's weight in gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1192WP Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I use a Clarke CEW1000 electric impact wrench. It is 1/2 in drive and 240v and comes with a few sockets for about 65 quid. It shifts everything, and does away with the need for holding tools when removing clutch baskets and fork rod bolts. Beats using my breaker bar!
