2000 kx 250 stator bolt

(1/1)

Kawasakinut:
started teardown on my 2000 kx 250 motor. but donot have a manual yet can anyone tell me if the main stator bolt is reverse threads or normal counterclockwise? this d**n bolt will not brake free help.   

don46:
it is normal, righty tighty, lefty loosey

FuriouSly:
Use an impact wrench.  Be careful with using heat on the bolt because of the seals on the crank if you are reusing them.  Also watch the stator windings if using heat.  Put some WD40 or brakefree on the threads and let sit for a few hours.  How are you braking sockets/extensions?  How are you holding the crank from turning?

CR480R:
Do you have a puller to remove the flywheel after you get the nut off?

BDI:
A good half inch impact at a 120 psi will take that right off, hold the flywheel by hand with a rag. Hold on to it like a man or you will spin the crank and beat the s**t out of the cases with the rod and ruin the engine. And yes I said a 120 psi I also use a 3/8 impact with a phillips socket to unscrew float bowl screws that have never been unscrewed before. It's way overkill but as long as you make sure the impact is running in the right direction it works the first time every time and I know you have stripped some float bowl screws. It's like karate chopping a brick,nothing you want to do half assed or you will wind up with a broken hand instead of a broken brick. Ha-waaaaaa!!!!
