Author Message   Wbrisett Posted on Saturday, October 15, 2011 - 07:37 pm:        I'm in the mist of trying to swap out my primary on my '07 Uly with the XB9 primary. I may be doing this all wrong! I thought the primary nut was reverse threaded, but after reading the manual for the 20th time, it looks like maybe only the clutch main nut is reverse threaded. Can somebody verify for me that the nut on the primary side of things is normal threading? I'm going to have to see if the new Sears is like the old Sears and if they will replace my 1/2 Craftsman ratchet that I broke trying to turn the damn nut...(which I was probably turning the wrong way).

The Clutch nut is Righty Loosey/Lefty Tighty   Wbrisett Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2011 - 06:05 am:        Thanks for the confirmation. I was going the wrong way on the crank nut! Sheesh. Wayne   Portero72 Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2011 - 03:06 pm:        Wayne has a habit of getting his nuts reversed. HEYooohhhhhhhh!   Portero72 Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2011 - 03:08 pm:        In all seriousness-you broke a 1/2 inch Craftsman ratchet? Ding dang, son... Good luck on the install!   Wbrisett Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2011 - 03:14 pm:        Yep... Sears hooked me up this morning with a repair kit, and now turning the primary nut the correct way, I was able to get it and the clutch nut off. Wayne   Tootal Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - 02:08 pm:        That link that Nipsey put up needs to be read all the way through. They changed the torque value on the crank nut after my book was printed so the new number is in the thread but it's near the bottom so like I said, read all of it before you tighten the nut.
