Flywheel jig

another tool you need for disassembly/assembly of the crank is a jig to hold hold the wheels while you loosen or torque the nuts on the crank pin/ pinion shaft/sprocket shaft. Rowe makes a beautiful cast jig, but if you're like me and have limited funds, you have to do it on the cheap. here's how i'm making mine.

started with a piece of c-channel steel that is 125mm x 65mm x 6mm thick x 200mm long, and using the handy dandy handheld grinder (yeah, i'm at it again with the grinder :banana-dance: ), you hog out a section big enough for the sprocket shaft/pinion shaft to stick down through without hitting anything.

to be continued…

I just run a strap(old seat-belt etc) around the flywheel and clamp the strap in the vice,

oh sure, NOW you tell me, LOL. :angry-banghead:

anyway, it's fun to make tools. here's the finished product (please excuse the crappy welds, after wrist surgery i had to do it left handed).

take care,
