Hi Jarek. I would recommend using a single hex socket if you can. I built a tool something similar to the tool that rob shared the link to. Doing it back up again was also an issue. As torque wrenches of a suitable size were a bit pricey for a one off job(hopefully) i did some calculations then using a two metre bit of rhs and added sufficient weight to the end of it to achieve the correct torque. Holding the engine on the bench while this was happening was another issue-solved with some helpers and the offer of beer. If i remember correctly i think the fly wheel bolt may have been 400nm and the front hub may have been around the 180 nm (can anyone confirm?) that was on my L2000 assuming yours is too. Good luck J

After some tentative attempts I realized that it is not going to be easy to loosen the nut/screw holding the cogwheel. I llooked through this forum archived posts and found nothing. Could you please share some ideas on how to go about it? I'm planning to weld a socket spanner to a long piece of iron for good leverage, but that would deal with only part of the problem. Perhaps the bigger problem is how to immobilize the cogwheel. Wedging the teeth with a screw driver against some protruding parts around the cogwheel did not work. Looking forward to your thoughts Best regards Jarek Steliga
