Sprocket nuts seized

(1/2) > >>

Mike_Berkshire:
Hi all. Front hub polished and now on to rear hub. I need to replace the worn rear sprocket so thought I would remove the old one before I start polishing. I have flattened the tab washers, given the studs/nuts a good squirt of penetrating oil and left them to soak. However all 4 nuts seem seized solid. Before I resort to more destructive methods of removing the nuts are there any tricks/techniques to try? ‘76 550 K2

Heat

Rattle gun

More penetrating oil,diesel is very good

Apply all over the next week

Unless your in a rush

Bit of heat in case somebody’s been in there with thread lock?

Honda enthusiast:
loctite freeze and release is worth a try, Mike..not cheap at £20 a can but it freed my wheel nuts on a 1972 Massey 165

I used a cordless Impact Driver as I'm old (77 soon) & weak, one of my better buys a few years ago that I bought to undo car wheel bolts.
