Hu all,
I Need some help from experts.
I have to loosen the clutch hub nut.
I suppose It Is lh thread and Red loctited.
But even with torche heat and 1/2 impact wrench It don't come loosen. Palese help me how to do.
Grazie thanks
It is LH thread. Red Loctite is supposed to breakdown with heat. The company says 500 degrees F. ( 260 C.) is required. Are you getting it hot enough..??
Do you have the clutch hub immobilized ?

Yes I heated for very long time more than 2 minutes and the hub Is immobilized well but It doesn' t move at all. Maybe the 1/2 impact wrench Is not enough?? Strange to me

I don't use heat but my 1/2 impact won't do it. I think it's the length of the stroke since even locked, there is flex in chain.
The compensator end takes my 3/4 and air turned up to 100 psi on compressor. Don't over torque that aluminum clutch hub going back together. Use a torque wrench.
Harley's are a bear to work on sometimes. If you use heat, it needs to be Mapp gas to get it hot and stay local. Propane won't do it safely without risk of other damage.
I would get someone to hold bike up. Put a extension on socket and use a breaker bar. Be sure to have a jack stand under extension out were your breaker bar is so the load down out there is in stand. Turn clockwise.

If you do not have correct tool to lock it stop until you do.
To heat it use a heat gun not a touch. They are not expense and easy to find..
It may not take much . Use a good fitting socket not a wore out 12 point form the tool box.. Inpact drive works well for some but at least have a good Bar.
Do it right or jack it up you choice.
If you use a locking bar between the 2 sprockets it should not be an issue to use a breaker bar with a pipe extension if necessary.. Just make sure you going in a clockwise direction to loosen as dan said.. Never liked the Derlin step tool.. I think they put too much stress on sprocket and trans shafts.. I've made plenty of the flat bars from 1/4"x1" flat stock and radiused the ends...
