Hi all, what is the alternative bolt that people use to remove the rotor?

It is the J, B rear wheel spindle that fits.
Dont slide hammer it off or you will snap the knock pins/ crank case journals of the crank main bearings!!!

Cheers, I have a spindle that fits but it doesn't have a bolt end, so I can't get it tight enough, so I will have to get one, now I have sold the wheels I had

i have the correct tool (or to be exact a box of flywheel removal tools). Happy to lend it to you if you cover post each way. The box is heavy though.

I welded an impact socket on the end of a rear wheel spindle with no nut. To remove the rotor i attach the tool to an electric impact gun (from Clarkes tools a 400watt beast designed to remove wheel nuts, about £50) press the tighten button and off comes the rotor , I can lend the tool I made but would recommend buying the impact gun, they are brilliant - does the clutch nut too, best tool I own!

Hi all, I am just waiting for a bolt to arrive in the post, hopefully it will solve the problem. If not I will take you up on the offer, Pluto. I have a compressor and air gun,

Managed to get the rotor off with the bolt I ordered, although it was one of the hardest I have done. One of the bolts on the clutch had sheared and the others were loose. I have ordered replacements and will use a stronger loctite on them, hopefully this will stop them coming undone again.
