    I really cant see myself spending $300+ on just the snout from zzp/ebay, so hoping someone either has one available or know where one is


    Would prefer running order, but willing to buy one in need of a rebuild...


    Thx in advance

    Bought a set up that had a mps hub put on backwards, and when the guy tried to dremel the hub off he ruined the snout

    I may be willing to buy the snout from you. Can I get some pics also of the snout? Thanks

    I read up on a guy that had a similar issue with a backwards hub installed, and he used longer hex bolts with washers and used the pulley puller and slowly got it off....if that's not successfull, I won't have a choice but to buy a new snout.....thx for all the input/options to buy....will keep this updated.....

    nothing is pressed onto a M90 snout I can't remove. I have seen some jacked up $hit, and made it work. Best one was when guy was installing a pulley, the puller/install tool stripped out the threads on the snout when it was being pressed on, the guy takes a hammer to the pulley to finish the install. All he did was finish off the pulley, and kinda dislodged everything inside the snout, and on the rotor assembly. Luckly, a snout rebuild is all it needed. Couldn't do much for the threads inside the snout aside from welding the hole shut, and drill and tap again, but cost, the customer decided just to have me press a new pulley on, and let the next guy worry about getting it off.

    I can take some pictures tomorrow when I am out in the garage. I saw it on the shelf still when I was out there this evening passing through. I even have a fully polished one too. (its gutted, but can be built back up)
