I made a bunch of these and thought y'all might like them.
They work great, I've been using one for years. I have been asked to make some for a while and decided that since they had a hard time finding one I would go ahead and make some. These are solid billet aluminum with the Yamaha logo on one end. Perfect fit and knurled for a great hand hold to push it out even if the axle has not been lubed. We use them at our shop.
Here is a vid of me pulling the rear wheel with one hand while holding the camera.
PM sent. I bought one of these made out of the hard plastic from the WERA classifieds a few years ago. Kicking myself because I didn't buy two. I want an extra. These things are worth their weight in gold. I can swap out a rear tire in under a minute, from start to finish.
I will suggest that people take off the brake pads, and grind down the edges of the bottom part of the pad to a 45 degree angle. It makes fitting the brake rotor into the pads MUCH easier.
For whatever reason I literally have no issue ever doing my own rear rim. Other people's give me trouble sometimes. Maybe it is the brake spring on my MC or the machined rotor, but I get mine first try, one handed. Never an issue. I may grab one up for the shop tho. I dig the racer discount he offers.
OP, shoot me a PM with payment info. CCS racer #726
This is one of my favorite tools. Op, how much inventory do you have? I'd like to pick up an extra someday soon. These look much better than my hard plastic one.
The flipped axle does not work near as good as this tool. The threaded part of the axle is a smaller diameter and the caliper flops around too much. It is easier than w/o this tool but nowhere near as easy as with it.
Oh, there have been two different payments to PayPal w/o any address
Wait...what??? I ordered my tool early last week and paid for expedited shipping AND I still didn't get it!!! Plus, I live about 5 miles from SS, MD. How did that happen?!?!? Thank goodness somebody posted that screwdriver trick or I would still be fighting the rear wheel.
