View Full Version : removing a wheel, what should i know?
my new chain and sprocket set finally came in and its going on this weekend. i chewed the rear sprocket on my last ride so im replacing that aswell. so ive gotta pull off the back wheel. am i safe using an impact gun to get it off and put it on? i know it sits on that plastic hub but havent looked much farther into it, how tight do i put it? 100 lb ft like a car wheel? also how tight do i set the screws for the rear sprocket? thanks

tight is tight and broke is broke... lol i've used my impact on about everything, but usually i only use hand tools just to get a feel on it.. torque specs i don't have a clue..
so what your saying is if its getting tighter and tighter and then goes loose ive one too far, haha.

ivve always been told 40-50 ft lbs of torque, but i usually just snug it up with my hands, then just step on the wrench one good time, but dont force it, just kinda do a quick push, till it tightens

correctomundo. the wheel studs WILL break if you over torque them. make sure you pack the splines with grease before reassembly.
