Yeah but at 800 quid its a lot of money. And yes it was very nerve racking doing it back up. Havnt a clue if its to the right torque or not but it hasn't come off yet :lol: I was actually shaking after doing it up :lol:

Well I bought the Clarke electric rattle gun and got my flywheel done. It took some doing and at first I thought it wasn't going to get the bolt undone but it did. :D The gun is a bit bigger than it looks in the pictures, quite a beast actually and weighs a lot. Certainly not a lightweight tool. The only complaint I have about is the the Black plastic swirled grip at the front does not stay on. This is purely cosmetic and has no effect on use. It would have been also nice if a separate handle was supplied and could be attached to it. Maybe I will find one from a drill one day.

A big thumbs up for value, build and use. :thumbup:

They also give good ventilation when riding the bike. :lol: Yes I have been known to go for a ride around the block wearing them.

FYI
Just changed my flywheel, I already had the £100 clarke cordless impact gun (220nm), it got it off ok (needed a fully charged battery)
