rotor pullin-creative means

given an unavailabillity to aquire the right tools for the right job,
how would one, in an emerency situation, remove the rotor off the end
of the crankshaft of the old cb750 out in the garage there?

 

Go to www.denniskirk.com and look up part number 28-1960 or 281960...

That's a Motion Pro flywheel puller that works on late model CB-xxxF's.
It's made of hardened steel, it's 18mm diameter, has 1.5mm thread
pitch, it screws into the flywheel after you remove that 12mm bolt
holding it on. You turn the hex end of the puller, it pushes against
the end of the crank and POP! goes the rotor...

Costs $10 smackeroonies.

Oh, well, you could go down to Manny, Moe and Jack's place and look for
an 18mm X 1.5 bolt, maybe it would cost $3 but it probably would be too
soft and it might bugger the internal threads of your rotor, and then
where would you be?

 

Use the rear axle. But if I could wait a couple of days, I'd order the
tool online and do it right.

You know, that axle trick isn't such a bad idea. You do have to take
the axle out of the rear wheel and that part is time-consuming...

I wouldn't try to pop the rotor off by tightening the axle against the
end of the crankshaft though...

I would slide one of my 5-pound weights onto the axle before tightening
it snugly in the rotor. Then I would slam the weight against the head
of the axle. The axle/weight rig would be a home made slide hammer, and
the rotor would pop off the taper after a few repetitions...

 

I just tightened up the axle snug and whacked it on the end with a BFH.
Then put a bit more turn on the axle and repeated with the BFH. Rotor
popped off on the 3rd time. Kinda like doing a ball joint or rod end.

It hardly bent the crank more than 5 deg.
