Warm the gear, tap on using an old piston for a drift.how did you refit the sprocket
Can be done with ring /open ended spanner but a shorter length one makes it easier sit down and put rim on lap wheel upright as on bike you can get fingers in between normal Vincent spoke pattern you can also bend spanner to give more clearance gets easier with each nut as you get a routine goingDavid
I guess the same process can be adopted for the Comet where the sprocket is in the front hub, I went out and bought a puller today and some spanners but what I really need now to get in between the spokes is a 9/16" ratchet ring straight to get the drum nuts off, I am having trouble getting one in imperial here in the UK. I am still looking but guess you have them in the States not taking on metric in any great degree. Are they available over there.

If you visit The Vincent.com and look under wheels/fenders scroll down and you will see how to apply localised heat to speedo gear and it will come off easily Just the reverse of heating it up to put it onYes I am finding that it gets easier but getting them back on is going to be tough I cannot believe the factory found it this difficult, This mornings job remove the speedo sprocket now I have bought a puller then start on the rear end, I have found the drums encrusted in crud which will have to be scraped out and then wet and dry likely the best option. Then to remove the thirty year old brand new rubber. I ordered some ratchet spanners last night which may help the return leg of the jobView attachment 23427
