Author Message   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, July 14, 2011 - 09:08 pm:        Looks like I gotta buy a tool tomorrow so I can finish pulling the trans out of the M2. Anyone know offhand what size that big honkin' nut is that holds the front belt pulley onto the mainshaft? If nobody posts up, I can just take the lockplate with me to Lowe's and use it as a sizing gauge...   Hellraged Posted on Thursday, July 14, 2011 - 10:21 pm:        the front pulley nut on my 98 s1 is 1 7/8 " took me forever to find it , i know sears as one .. its a 3/4 drive aswell.   Hellraged Posted on Thursday, July 14, 2011 - 10:22 pm:        btw lowes dont carry anything that big, i asked when i was looking for mine.   Ratbuell Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 12:21 am:        Got a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter already. THANK YOU for the size Chance to try out the new-ish DeWalt 300 lb-ft 18V impact   Hellraged Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 01:21 am:        np measureing the lockplate i thought it was a 2 inch socket but come to find out it was a 1 7/8 make sure you get the black kind for your impact and not silver :P   Jim2 Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 02:44 am:        The manual says you have to take the pulley off to pull the tranny. You DON'T have to. The tranny slides right out of the left side of the bike. The pulley stays put on the right side. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I didn't do it and it wasn't a problem. Saved a bunch of time and tool searching.   Sportyeric Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 04:26 am:        On the other side of the engine case from the pulley is the final drive gear. The tranny will come out and leave the final drive gear if you don't want to remove the pulley and you aren't changing the final drive gear pair. So it depend on the project. If you are repairing and replacing, say, second gear, then you don't need to remove the pulley. If you are putting in a new or different transmission, you should have a matched pair of final drive gears and so do need to remove the pulley.   Ratbuell Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 07:16 am:        OK, so I pulled the five bolts out of the primary side, that hold the trapdoor to the case. The trans should come out now?   Buellistic Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 08:40 am:        1 7/8 inch and torque to 50 ft.lbs.   Ratbuell Posted on Saturday, July 16, 2011 - 08:46 am:        duh. I need to stop going out to the garage after 15 hour days in the sun at work. Jiggle. Pull. Out it came, no messing with the pulley nut. Now, to diagnose...   01x1buell Posted on Sunday, July 17, 2011 - 04:00 pm:        yeah i feel you working that long everyday then working on things that u need to think about kinda sucks.. you never know what u are doping half of the time.
