Default Removing inner primary on 16 Dyna

Just starting tearing in to my 16 Bob to get rid of the forward controls. I was kinda surprised to see a Torx bit for the compensator sprocket assembly. It's been a few models ago since I was in one...Anyway, what size is that Torx? Does it still get the 100 and 140 torque sequence? I have a 12 manual and didn't realize it had changed...Any other gotchas? I already loosened the clutch basket. Is it's torque still 80? Thanks in advance as always!

Got it all done. That clutch nut was a bear. Hopefully I don't have any leaks...

Does your OEM outer primary have the hole for the shifter shaft?

It did. It came factory with Mids and the dealer changed it before I bought it. They wanted 600.00 in labor to do it. Took me about three hours and a six pack...

The torque for the 14+ compensator is 175. Still 70-80 for the clutch.
I'm 1/2 way through the same mod.
