Got my new sprocket in on sat.had to go to the hardare store and get me some grade 8 3/8 -16 bolts,about 2 1/4 inches long,cut them to the same length as the previous studs were,drilled out the hub grommetts..with a 3/8 bit,as well as the holes on the new sprocket.I am having the weld shop weld on some backing washers to the new studs I made,so they attatch to the sprocket correctly.
I noticed that the right side chain tensioner(if that is what it is called) was bent.I guess i hit a pot hole(all over teh place around here) pretty hard enough to bend it,and I think that is why my sprocket studs snapped..looks like the wheel got a bit off center to the bike cause of it.Got the weld shop fixin that also.
Next step is to get the chain on minus a couple links.Anyone know where to get a relativly cheap tool to do this?Or somewhere to rent on perhaps? after that I put her all together,change the oil,fine tune some stuff..and hopefully back riding by sunday.
