I bought a spanner wrench at the yami dealership (progressive brand), and he couldn't seem to get the wrench to lock on the "dial" on top of the spring. He said he needs me to come back to take the wheel off so he can get to it. Is this necessary?
Not to speak for 11 but the manual explains the process pretty well.immortal13 said:What's that supposed to mean?11Stryker said:Yes and reading owner's manual will help also!
Btw, the bike was on a motorcycle jack. He tried with a big pair of channel-lock pliers and claimed it wouldn't move. Guess I'll try the hammer and screwdriver technique. I'll have to go back by the shop because I don't have a motorcycle jack.
We get ya man, we just want to help. tough luck with the wrist that sucks. I'm a mechanic so I forget sometimes this stuff does not come naturally for some. Anyway giver **** with the screw driver. Also you can carefully take just the weight off with a regular car jack and try it that way. "carefully"immortal13 said:Lol 11....maybe that's what we need to do.
Really, I'm frustrated because it seems simple but this **** bike mechanic can't even do it....wtf?????
And use a piece of thin wood or rubber on the jack as well so you don't scratch the bottom of the frame.11Stryker said:Hey Immortal, Good idea having friend hold bike for you. just put screwdriver against side of a hole that you want to move sleeve toward. Should be relatively easy with weight off rear wheel. Try to keep jack back far enough so that you only raise rear wheel off ground.
