If all alse fails, join ILOC and they have a tool lending programme. I'd send you mine but air freight from Florida probably wouldn't be too attractive to you...

You're welcome to borrow mine, if you promise to send it back and pay the postage.....and don't ask me how much the postage is

Matlock, Derbyshire

Whatever.

With all respect I don't think they are particularly expensive and you can get them from Slaters well worth having if you like to work on your own bike .

I have organised to borrow one now

I didn't know that I could buy it from Slaters.........there about 45min from me, perhaps I need to take a trip there.

I know I'm going to regret this....but, ......what is the Jesus nut?.
(If it's the LH threaded nut..I've undone that)

I think the jesus nut is on the other end of the crank Andy.

It's those nuts that cause you to mutter "Jesus, that's done up tight!!" through your teeth, before you slip off and skin your knuckles!!  One at each end of the crank.... and a third behind the alternator on a MkI 180 (if you're lucky....  They're loose quite often, buggers the starter clutch if left unattended!)

A rattle gun is quite handy for these things.

Wot he said. I'm fitting a DMC to my bitza at the moment, and I tried to undo the LHT nut with an axle stand, a three foot breaker bar and a three foot bar locking the crank (with the end sitting on the axle stand).

A friend and I proceeded to lift the bike off the ground. The nut didn't move. JESUS!

Three seconds with a 20 quid rattle gun and it was undone. The best value for money of any tool that I have so far bought.

I agree that a rattle gun is an essential piece of kit although I have heard some old sages profer the opinion that they can actually rattle a crank out of line. Seems fanciful to me but I stand to be corrected?  I haven't worked out a way of dismantling a set forks without one!

Interesting theory, but I can't really see how it would work in practice - there's too much intertia in the crank. My crank didn't even turn while the nut undid. (Is that even a word?) but I guess locking the same end of the crank you are undoing the nut on while you rattle away would be a good precaution.
