Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

Update,,,, me and my dad have been working on it today and weve snapped the airbox off and some other stupidly seized shit that has corroded into the engine cases lol

now im stuck (done a search btw) just need to find out the foloowing sizes :beg:

rear wheel nut size :

variator nut size :

clutch bell nut size :

flywheel nut size :

and the big nut that holds the clutch to the rear pully size

the standard roller weight in the typhoon 125's

and thats it for now, just cleaning everything up and ordered my paint online

update late to show you what i have done lol :thumbsup:

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

:rotfl: no minnor, i need to get the buggers off lol, im off out tomorrow too buy the right size impact sockets i need to get them off lol

nice 1 for that though minnor :rotfl:

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

thanks very much mate. suppose its off to the shops tomorrow with a big list haha :write: :mrgreen:

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

if ur talkin about the nut on the top of the clutch the huge one i believe its a 56mm but the socket will cost alot so best bet is to get it in a vice or watever ther called forgotten the name been a while since ive said it and close it up and then just twist it by hand u may need ur dad to jump in on it aswel as ther tight

or take it to a car/bike garrage and ask them to do it 4 u

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

i attempted with a mole grip but it ended up chewing up the nut but yea minors the expert :good:

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D
