First DIY Service Completed.
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

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.

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.

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.
