am i correct in thinking the sprocket (rear) can be removed with the wheel still on and that therefore it doesnt need raising on a stand?

i have acquired a renthal carrier and new final drive kit and want to do the swap

seems to me i just leave the bike upright and remove the spocket side nut, circlips, hub cover and spocket and then replace?

i am aware the nut will be tight - what size is it please?

many thanks

A) yes

b) yes

c) 41mm...it will be tight! I find that by poping around the corner to my local tyre fitting place with my correct sized socket, and asking then just to loosen it with their windy-gun helps in this regard! Then just nip it back up for the short ride home.
