Re: Timing Chain Sprcket Tool

No, it did not.
I used a copper washer to protect the tip of the crankshaft.
the puller worked like a charm for me and it "net" cost nothing to use [rented thru autozone]!

Always an Airhead bonus.

Timing Chain Sprcket Tool

I successfully used a puller found in the "Powerbuilt 5 Pc. Front End Service Kit" (Kit #5) that I rented from autozone. it reached far enough under the sprocket to pull, without damaging the teeth. Same kind of kit can be seen here: http://www.toolsmithonline.com/products/Powerbuilt%C2%AE...

This is my second season going tubeless on snowflake rims [1982 R100RT] and I'm still alive. I used a common tubeless-rim valve stem [threaded type] like what was shown by Vanzen.
