[size=1.45em]This may be a daft question - but is the front sprocket nut a left hand tread ie tightens anti clockwise?
if it is it will explain why I cant get my one off!![/size]
:lolĀ No. It's a conventional r/h thread so anticlockwise is the way to undo it. The reason you can't shift yours is probably down to threadlock... have another go with the engine hot, might soften it enough to help it let go.
