Hi all!
I need to replace my chain and sprockets, but can't get the front sprocket bolt loose!!!!
I have bent half of my tools and still doesn't want to let go! The guy at the bike shop said he will help me to loosen it, but even he couldn't get it loose. He said I must book it in and he will heat the sprocket and let it cool down and then try again. (I know this sounds like sales trick, but we did try to use major force!)
This sounds a bit risky. Firstly won't it damage the seal behind the sprocket?
Do any of you have tips or experience on this problem. And what to do to prevent it in the future?
I knew KLR's were tough but newer thought this tough!!!
