[QUOTE="Diogenes, post: 3165, member: 91"] Just thinking aloud - how to tighten/loosen sprocket nut. KTB mentions holding nut in a vice and bashing the sprocket teeth with a hammer and a softish drift. Here is an old dodge. Another way is to hold the nut in a vice, and convert the sprocket into a spanner. First get an old rear chain. Then cut as long a length of heavy steel tube as will fit [typically about 2 ft ]. Wrap the chain round the sprocket teeth, feed the 2 ends of the chain through the tube. Move tube end to be snug towards the sprocket. Fit a HT bolt/nut through the 2 bits of chain protruding through the end of the tube. You now have a 'spanner' which can turn the sprocket without damaging the teeth. Ancient method, but out of favour as it does not cost megabucks. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
