Title: My riding season can almost begin. Question on tools required?
Post by: junk301 on May 25, 2013, 10:24:50 AM
I need to install my flywheel/rotor. What tools would be required to install it? I believe its a 17mm socket, can I use a hand wrench?

Recommend a torque wrench.  And something to hold the rotor and crank from turning.  I think some have used a penny stuck in the gear teeth.
