SPECIAL 30MM SOCKET

[bikerboy]

HI ALL, - Need to beg-borrow-steal or even buy a 30mm socket with the cutout!? any pointers - Thanks -kev

Is this for the final drive pivots?

I have a 30mm socket without the cut out which you are free to borrow.

If it is essential to have the cut out i can get it machined for you.

No doubt it could be useful to others.

Just let me know oh and I am in Slough

I've got the Laser tool to adjust swingarm pivot. Is that what you're after?

Thanks the cutout is essential as a 12mm allen key works in conjunction with the 30mm socket if you could machine this please let me know there is no hurry as ive still to a get replacement bevelbox

they are on e bay at 12 quid ,,, bargain ,
i bought a snap on socket and machined it , jus cos its nicer in my box.
if you use a marker you can get away without the socket , by marking the adjuster and the frame , but for twelve quid , just buy a cheapie ,,,
ill lend you mine if it helps , but the post would be more than e bay price , hth

[boxerscott]

good advice.

[Pete.]

It's not possible to just use a ring spanner?

[dysondiver]

its the torque setting that spoils the ring spanner , plus it would need to be slim walled ,,, sockets handy enough ,,

[Pete.]

Seems odd that the lock nut should require the use of a torque wrench when the really critical part - the bearing pre-load - should be left to just using an allen key by hand. I would submit that the allen key should be the part that is carefully torqued and the locknut can be hand-tightened with the threadlock applied.

[dysondiver]

yep , you could ,,,, but you would be wrong .
well thats what the manual says , so it must be true , although i will admit i torqued mine up on the light side , however the two settings work together , these germans know their stuff.

[Blackal]

these germans know their stuff.

No, Sorry - Their sausages are the wurst!

If I am wrong and the Germans know their stuff why you did it different anyway?

[dysondiver]

as i wasnt dealing with brand new parts , and a torque wrench that hasnt been calibrated in thirty years , and im not german , thought best to air on the side of caution ,
