I was hoping someone could recommend a good rotor puller for a daytona.
I tried the uppermost engine mounting bolt with an impact with no success. I am afraid I my mess something up if I keep trying with the engine mounting bolt.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
You may want to check with Economy Cycle. They're a forum sponsor here. However before I was aware of the existence of this forum or them as a retailer for most all RD stuff I acquired this special bolt from HVC Cycles. It threads into the rotor and pushes against the crank to pull the rotor off. It's been awhile since I did it and I only did it once. I'm thinking you may also need to find a safe and effective way to lock up the crank to keep it from spinning while your threading in the bolt. I think what I did was pull the clutch cover and wedged in some piece of wood or a rag/combo between the primary gear and that large clutch basket gear. Not sure though, that may not be necessary. Anyway check out the link I found for the HVC bolt, it's cheap enough.

its an m10x1.25 bolt if im correct. get a long threaded one, and oil the threads and use a small impact, should come off. might need to back it on and off a few times
Got it!
I had to back it off a couple of times and try again, but it came off. Thanks Mark.
RDryan-Thank you for the advice too. I am going to add that bolt to my HVC list.
No problem, happy to know it worked out for you and nice that Mark chimed in with the bolt size. I saved my bolt somewhere in the RD tool and parts chest but all that stuff gets buried on top of other stuff and I just hope that I never need to use it again. :umm: :shocked:I know from experience that the best way to remember stuff like this is buy either doing it, reading about, writing about it, or talking about it. Then at least for me I'll remember when the time comes that I have to do it all over again. I will also say I wish I had found this forum sooner before I started taking my bike's engine apart.

Russell,
Save yourself a few $ and buy a 10 x 1.25 at City Mill instead of buying it from HVC. Nothing special about it, it's just a bolt.
Hey Mike.
Thanks for the suggestion. Next time I am at City Mill, I'll buy one.
