Went today to collect my new front sprocket. Well, rushed home to put it on and realised I don't have a 32mm socket to loosen the nut! :evil:
Borrowed one from the neighbor but I could not loosed the $#cker! Looked in the workshop manual and saw that this nut is torqued to 132Nm! :shock:
My socket handle was just to short to give me enough leverage to undo the nut. Anyway, I've got this 2.5 ft BritTool torque wrench that cost me $$$ a few years ago. That did the trick and the nut came off. Compared the old and new sprocket and the splines are different! :x I will have to take the old sprocket in as a sample tomorrow to see if I can get one that will match. I'm a bit miffed right now. I hate it when you buy something, take it home and then it doesn't fit!
Anyway, time for a whiskey...
