Front bearing retainer removal was created by viciouspenguin
Hi,
I'm trying to undo the bearing nut with the removal tool and I can't get it to budge.
Are they handed differently on each side or am I just not tugging hard enough?

I recall the time my brother and I removed the centre stand from my Honda VFR750. We ended up with me holding the bike down while he put all his weight on the end of a four foot bar slid over a breaker bar. It was at that point that it occurred to us that it could be a left hand thread; he then turned the socket the other way and it came undone straight away! 'Left tighty, righty loosey :laugh:
Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
