Just took my sprocket cover off for the first time since owning the bike, wanted to check what nut I had. I am pretty sure by the look of it it's the upgraded one with the washer but the mess in there was immense, could have done with a pneumatic drill while I was cleaning all that crap :lol . The gasket was already wrecked in all the crud which has clearly been there a while, but was just wondering if it's a big problem that I'm riding the bike without the gasket in there for a week (what does it even do??) and also should I order a new washer for when I take the sprocket off? Cheers

You should definitely replace the washer with the sprocket, but as far as I can tell the gasket doesn't actually provide any useful function so I don't bother with it...

[/quote] The 32mm spanner I am looking at had a ring and an open one. for £7.50 I might as well try that first rather than paying £25+ for a ratchet and socket.

I dont think you will be able to turn it becuase the nut is reccesed....
Invest in a good socket set! I bought a 250 pounds halfords advanced set 4 years ago and have used it on my car, girfriends car, mums car, all my bikes, its been invaluable.

Cheers for that dead eye, I'll order a new washer from fowlers and just check how much that gasket is, if its a few quid might as well chuck it in just in case

At best, they'll trash themselves, at worst they'll wreck what you're working on and bring a world of pain. Haven't got any myself, but have only heard good things about halfords pro kit. Expensive full price but nearly always on offer, at which point it becomes sensible - good tools will reward you many times over Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2 |
