How to remove variator nut video

[scootergrisen]

I made this video showing how you can remove the variator nut on a Kymco Super 8.

Made it look simple. 

My P250 requires about 90 ft/pounds to break the Variator nut loose.

Great little video.

The Kymco Super 8 servicemanual says to use between 5,5 - 6,5 kg-m torque.
That should be the same as 40 - 47 pound-feet.

I dont have a torque wrench but you have i good feeling when tightning the nut when doing it this way compared to using a impact electric tool.

..i have a Torque-O-Matic elbow...

..no, really!!..

what size is that wrench?!

[sidthesloth]

That would be a "one size fits all"  wrench.

[glopezz05]

Yeah, except the different sizes are different lengths.

[scootergrisen]

The little wrench is a 9 mm. That fits on my scooter but i think other tool brands might not be the exact same length.

"one size fits all"

Anyone have any thoughts on using a piston stop for loosening/tightening the variator nut?

I think it should be just fine to use a pistion stopper.
