Pinion Gear Locking Tools
OK, so it's not directly related to lubrication, but if you're changing the oil pump drive gear as described above, you need this tool!
If you hold the crank still from the other side of the assembly - the primary side, or by putting the bike in gear and holding the brake - you apply twisting force through the crank pin,
and the crank pin is not designed to resist much twisting force. You run the very real risk of knocking the crank out of true, which requires a full tear-down to fix.
Don't take the risk, get yourself one of our exclusive Grindlock pinion locking tools. We work on these bikes all the time, and frankly the other offerings
on the market for this function frustrated us with weak teeth that liked to push away from the pinion gear. The Grindlock design solves that problem. It also engages for the
full depth of the pinion gear for maximum strength.

sent them the wrong tool or it's somehow defective. The instructions clear this up.
