I need help QUICK!!!!
I am trying to install a rekluse and I need to get the clutch nut loose. Is it reverse threads, meaning lefty, tighty; righty, loosey??? From what I have read (and maybe I'm reading it wrong) it is regular threads. I have tried to break it loose with an pneumatic impact, no go; an impact wrench that you hit with a hammer, no go; I have tried a ratchet with a cheater bar, a very long cheater bar and it ain't budging! I see where the nut needs 60nM of torque when installed and I checked trying to loosen it with a torque wrench and it was quite a bit more than the 60nM.....
I'd really like to get this job done today, so I can ride Monday. Somebody help me.....please!?!

Looks right handed, (righty-tighty, lefty-loosey).

Crank (drive gear) is Left hand threads. Clutch is right hand threads.

Nut on my counter balancer was stuck tight like that, finally had to carefully cut it off with a dremel. |

Alan,
Normal threads. We had the same problem with the 300 Race we used at the 24 Hour Race. It took a whole bunch of us to loosen it. I reported this to the production manager. Hopefully this won't happen in the future. Clay |

Use lots of heat and your impact wrench.
