| Grind a socket?
Hey guys,
I bought one a 34mm deep impact socket similar to this: 
Except I should have gotten something with a flatter tip cause I need it to remove this: 
It's not getting a good grip as it's barely making contact.
Is there anybody I can take it to to grind it down?

If you have a drill you can attach it on with an adapter then grind the ground at a 90 degree angle. This should make the grooves flat.

sockets are usually made out of case hardened steel... good luck.

I'd take an angle grinder to it.

Phil, 
I'll ride down when it gets nice.
Would like your thoughts on repaint vs vinyl and redoing some parts as carbon fiber anyways.

Put it on a lathe and turn it down flat. Most likely what Phil will do for you.

A standard chrome vanadium socket is harder to grind down LOL....and it's not even hard to grind one down
I wouldn't worry too much

Curious as to what that nut is for? Chances are there won't be much torque on it if it's a flat nut like that. Have you tried an adjustable wrench or water pump pliers?

The nut secures the contrast spring for the rear pulley in my SR50's CVT.
Changing the stiffness of that spring is kind of like changing when how your car will always shift.
Running it at 10,000 rpm in first gear would get you up a hill decent, but you're going to be going nowhere fast. Likewise, your acceleration is going to be crap if you start off in 5th.
As you can understand, with only 50cc, you can't be poorly tuned and not expect to get run over. But at the sweet spot, cars are the ones holding me up.
The kicker is, with so little horsepower, the sweet spot is super narrow and rider weight and terrain makes a big difference.

That's when you realize that you should get a real bike.
