I just completed ( yesterday ) my first DIY service to my 2012 Wide Glide. I let the stealer do the very first service to the bike. This service was for 5,000 miles. First thing I noticed right off of the bat was that the clutch feals better. Also seemed to elimanate some of the shift clunk. I begining to think that the stealer didn't adjust the clutch previously?

I used a Crowsfoot to torque the jambnut on the clutch pac. It worked OK. But I'm thinking on gettin a deep well socket and welding the nut to it. But I don't remeber the correct size. Can someone refresh my memory.
Thanks

 

You are going to weld your clutchpack locknut to a socket? How do you plan on getting your derby cover on?

 

Naww. Im refering to bulding a tool to help when setting the torque on the jambnut. With the correct size deep well socket. And a hex nut welded to the top. You can reach thru the socket with your allen wrench to hold the adjustment setscrew still. While turning th socket via the hexnut. But I don't remember the correct size of the jambnut.

 

Gotcha. I just use an 18mm spark plug wrench with a wrench on top. It fits with very little slop. I have to use the deep spark plug wrench because I have a VPC clutch that a standard wrench won't go past.

 

It is an 11/16" nut btw, 18mm works fine and I've never rounded it off.

Thanks Guys. That hit the spot. Someone else mentioned the spark plug socket with a built-in wrench face. I'm going to look for one of those too.

 

the jamnut is actually 17mm.

I used an SAE crowsfoot. The foot was to large to sit all the way down flush with the face. And the bolt heads around the clutch pac interfeared with turning the jambnut somewhat. But it worked OK and fit exactly. I was in such deep concentration trying to do the job corectly that I didn't pay close atention to the sizes. At the time, I just knew that they fit. I remember the size of the starbit for removing the Derby Cover. The largest I had was a #20. I had to go buy a #27.

 

no problem , wg12.
i'm pretty sure i tryed 11/16 on my 2011.
it may be a case of different brand's of tool's.
clutch and rear belt adjustment are the 2 job's i dislike.
