    Simple, cheap, rotor holding tool. Use the long 1/4" socket extension for removal & the short one to torque back up.

    Here's a story: I had to get the rotor off a CB650 thast was lying in a pile of scrap. It's right on the end of the crank, so nothing to wedge against. The guy at the scrap yard was an A$$ - told me I had 30 minutes to get it off or it was going in the crusher. SO the solution, pull a plug and start packing the cylinder with gravel and dirt. filled it up enough to jam the motor, and off pops the rotor.

    Don't try this on a bike you EVER plan to ride again ;)
