Nuts & Bolts

Here in the SAE US, it can be difficult to find metric nuts and bolts. Here’s a few links:

All Metric, 800-638-1830 Flanders, 626-792-7384 Maryland Metrics, 800-638-1830 Spaenaur, 800-265-8772, or 519-744-3521. Threads for the South, 770-425-3787.

Warning: there are two metric standards, European and Japanese. This will show up in nut size and in thread pitch. For example, in Europe larger bolts tend to be 1.0 or 1.5 threads per mm, in Japan the same bolt is likely 1.25 threads per mm.

Tools

It used to be that you had to buy either Craftsman or Snap-on, or your tools would break. These days theChinese and Indians have figured out steel, and essentially all tools are just fine. If you have none, goto Sam’s Club or Costco and buy a $50-$100 set with sockets, wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers. This will getyou started. You’ll need a few extra specialty tools.

Most modern chains are endless – they have no master link. To change the chain, your owners manual will tell you to removethe swing arm. This is neither necessary nor fun. You can get a chain breaking / forming tool fromJ.C.Whitneyor http://www.1888fastlap.com. Call them for a free catalog.I recommend the Emgo / Motion Pro tool shown above. To replace your chain, first break the old chain, anywhere will do. Tie one endof the new chain to the old chain using string or light wire, and pull the new chain through the countershaft sprocket. Pull the newchain about until the two ends are next to each other at about 2 o’clock on the rear sprocket. You’ll have to loosen up yourrear axle to accomplish this. Put the master link through the two ends, then use your chain tool to rivet the new chain together.
