    IIRC it's anti-clockwise. You first remove the panel hiding it and I believe using the nut gun is the way to go here. A friend of mine did it for me (years ago when I had a Bandit) and I have to say that back then I wouldn't have been able to do it myself...

    These days I'd probably manage though...

    Yeah you can mess things up quite badly on that one... Impact driver should do the trick though. Just be careful! ;)

    Be careful - if you damage the gearbox output shaft bearing you usually have to drop the engine to change it :eek: better to just use a long bar

    Probably not threadlock but there usually is a lock washer, you should flatten it before loosening the nut, and bend it back afterwards to stop the nut loosening.

    Some people put the bike in gear to try to stop the shaft turning, but I heard of someone breaking a tooth off 1st gear doing that! Better to get someone to press the brake pedal hard while you undo the nut.

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.
