Power Valve removal

How do I get the power valves out of the cylinders? I know the shaft has to come out but it doesn't want to.

Two methods:

Use the RC valve removal tool - This is the correct way.

Use a series of washers piled up and use the L/H nut to slowly wind the shaft out - Not the best way but works.

Lock shaft in vice and smack cylinder with mallet - Wrong! et's the job done but will bend the shaft and might damage cylinder.

First option is the best.

How about a slide hammer? Can the proper tool be bought?

slide hammer would work, but the proper tool is the way to go.

It is available to buy.

How much will it cost me and where do I get one?

I'll get that on order ASAP. I need to buy something else though. I hate to pay shipping on just item from so far away. Thanks for the tip.

No problem, Paul and Matt are easy to deal with, they do most things youll need for a NSR, if you cant see it, just ask.

You'd think a couple of these would be available closer to home Andy? Wink

I'll take one if so....

I refit the nut with a washer under it to the valve spindle, then use the claws of a claw hammer to lever the valves out. Use a piece of cloth between the hammer head and cylinder to prevent marks.

Wayne had his pants pulled down, and was given a good spanking for having the audacity to suggest that, when this same question was asked last week Wink

Where do you get these Honda HRC claw hammers from?
Could I get an HRC wooden handled Yankee screwdriver too? With uprated spring! Very Happy
