Default Stator removal.
I need to remove the stator on my FXDI. Can I use an impact wrench to remove the sprocket bold. My manual say to use a sprocket tool and breaker bar.

I replaced my stator just last week and the instructions are right. Use a breaker bar on the compensator bolt and the clutch hub nut. An impact can put hard torsional stresses on both the crankshaft and transmission output shaft. With a good breaker bar and having your bike in a wheel chock, strapped down firmly you won't have a problem. Just a bit of initial effort to break them loose.

Yes you can..., and I have several times

Will also need to remove the clutch - remember it is left hand threaded

eta - when you install the new stator - RTV the grommet - otherwise it prone to leak

Also remember to use red loctite on the bolt..., and torque in stages..., to 140 FLbs

Ghost I know you didn't mean to misinform but the torque spec is bike and application dependent. He could have a late model compensator on a 2006 FXDI which takes I believe 175ft-lb final torque.

I F'd up by 10 FLbs / whereas mattVA F'd up by 35 FLbs

Will edit my original post to reflect proper torque setting

Thank You Sir

Ghost
Well now it still ain't right. .that 175 is only for one style of compensator. It was just an example.

While you got the comp sprocket out, throw it in the recycling bin and install the Baker Comp Sprocket! You should also recycle that chain tensioner and install the Baker Attitude Adjuster.
