Author Message   Wvmike Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2008 - 01:05 pm:        how hard is it to replace? Do you need any special tools?   Easy_rider Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2008 - 01:24 pm:        Not hard. Did mine two weeks ago so it's still fresh in my mind. I needed to get a 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 socket that I didn't have previously. I never mind an excuse to buy tools! You will need to find something to prevent the gears from turning while loosening/tightening those big nuts. There's some help here in the knowledge vault that I saved to a document that I'll send. Not mentioned is that the magnets will fight you in removing the drive assembly. Just enough to think you're forgetting to remove something. Mentioned, but not in an obvious way, is that you DON't need a clutch removal tool.   Bikerjim99 Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2008 - 08:18 pm:        I think the clutch socket is 1 3/16 inches, but be sure to double check this. Lots of information available via a search, read all you can find. It is a somewhat simple job, but you should have a shop manual. Update the chain tensioner, if you haven't done this yet. I did mine about a week ago, no problems.   Easy_rider Posted on Sunday, August 17, 2008 - 01:45 am:        I double-checked. 1 3/16 it is. My apologies, and thanks to BikerJim for the correction. Hopefully no parts were purchased before the correction.   Buellistic Posted on Sunday, August 17, 2008 - 10:54 am:        1 13/16" clutch nut(NUT,main shaft PN 37495-91 is Pre-"BUELLschitte" part number) Left'ie Tight'ie/Right'ie Looe'ie-"Left Hand Threads"-(70-80 ft.lbs.) and LOCTITE THREAD LOCKER #262(red) ... 1 1/8" motor sprocket nut(NUT,engine sprocket PN 7839 is Pre-"BUELLschitte" part number)Right'ie Tigt'ie/Left'ie Loose'ie-"Right HAND THREADS"-(per TT211-September 16,2005 from 190-210 to 240-260 Ft.lbs.)

Be sure your torque wrench will work with left hand and right hand threaded fasteners.   Fasted Posted on Sunday, August 17, 2008 - 04:53 pm:        "Be sure your torque wrench will work with left hand and right hand threaded fasteners." if not, the head can be disassembled, flip the drive head over, reassemble, and it works for lefties
