One of our club team members DNFed an ISDE race because said nut came loose.

Heat it up with MAP Gas then let your impact pound away at it . If you fail hopefully you wont have to but this tool will do the job!

They work well I have one in my tool box. Certainly easier then cutting them off.

Better tight than loose. I DNFed once for the same reason with a KDX200.

Heat and pneumatic impact tool, but be careful with the heat. Use a good one not a Chineese special from Home Depot, big difference in torque.

DON'T whack on it with a hammer impact tool, your putting a lot of transient force through the bering it was not designed to handle. Its like installing new crank bearings with a hammer.

Thanks, gentlemen! I will try again....I don't know why a Spanish bike has German torque on it...."guten tite"....

Got it all done. Geez, that nut must've had 100nM on it! Will test it out tomorrow and see how it works. Thanks again, guys. It really is nice to have a bunch of gear heads to go to when the going gets rough.
