Going to check compensator nut this weekend and don't have the locking tool, I've seen and read about ways around this but I can't find it in the forum. anybody used an alternative method that worked OK? Thanks, Tim

 

I've used to 2, 1/2 inch bolts with the heads positioned into the teeth of the gear. I just reversed them when I tightened the nut.

 

You can make your own out of a piece of flat bar. I can dig up the dimensions if you need them.

 

Found it on Harley Hogs website, thanks to HH

 

screwdriver handle works too.

 

Block of hardwood will work

 

Thank's guys, I've wondered if something like the handle of a screwdriver like a Mac or Snap-on would hold up. I'll give that a try first. Tim

 

When I installed a chrome inner primary on my 06 Dyna I just used an air impact wrench to remove it and I adjusted the torque setting to match what was the recommended torque when I reinstalled it.

 

i second that...

 

Ball up a shop rag, if your primary chain is tight enough it works great and wont hurt anything.
