I am trying to get this thing loose and it is just spinning. The nut is spinning but the threaded shaft is not. I had a big problem with the bike running like ass, similar to how a blown head gasket could make a bike run, could this do it? (I would guess yes since it may affect the tension on the electronic ignition part on the shaft) Not sure the name of it, but its the 10mm nut on the end of the shaft your points cam/electronic ignition/advancer goes. The one on the inside of the large nut. Is there a trick to it? Is it stripped off? Is the dremel my answer here? "A Chopper is the final romantic expression that is left in this country.

I am guessing it's stripped but how the heck could it strip on its own? I thought there may be a trick to it, but last time I took it off I think it just came off without a trick or anything.

Not too much thread so you can bust it off, what out!. Then like rat said, you take a vice grip a 10mm and do double time on the twist out. This is regular; righT Tight T lefT loose E. Year gonna need a big fat o-ring behind the shaft is what I think might be there in the line bore of the crankshaft.

I'll let you guys know what happens. "A Chopper is the final romantic expression that is left in this country. Obviously the frontier is gone.

That nut is trashed now, its like it's made of plastic (not really just crappy metal). The shaft had about a 1/8" section where the treads were trashed, but it was in the middle of the threads, not on the ends... weird! Thanks everybody!
