    get impact gun and that way u can take clutch and vari off without buyin locking tools and yea u gota take clutch and vari off stick the belt around the clutch and pull the pulleys apart with ur fingers while squeezing the belt in thers a vid wich will make this clearer in the guides section
    gear oil only way i know of is to unscrew dipstick and pour it outa ther but i dno if ther is a better way

    moved to relevant topic, it's a workshop matter rather than tuning.

    so you and a mate are going halves on a varo locking tool for 2 seperate bikes???

    anyway first of all. fuck the polini belt, standards are cheap as chips. get a new set of rollers, variator sliders, oil pump belt, spark plug and air filter, always check the key hole in the cog that the oil pump goes on . if its gets circular replace it

    the gearbox oil has a drain bolt at the bottom of the crankcase.

    the varolocking tool for a runner 50 is only a tenner and its much better then a impact gun less likely to fuck it up. if the varo or clutch nut looks past it replace it and use a tiny bit of loctite
