Default Clutch Hub Nut/Compensator Sprocket Nut

Can anyone tell me on a 2006 Dyna. What size the Clutch Hub Nut is and The Compenator sprocket bolt is ? I have to change my belt and want to purchase the correct size sockets ahead of time.

I believe the clutch hub nut was 1 3/16".. totally forgot what the comp sprocket bolt is. If I were to just shoot from the hip, I'd say it was something like 13/16", but not sure. I just tore mine apart 2 weeks ago on my 2006 Bob to change out the infamous inner primary bearing... which I would definitely look over once you remove the inner primary case. I don't have the manual with me right now.

According to this instruction sheet:

1 3/16” SOCKET (CLUTCH NUT REMOVAL)
1 ˝” SOCKET (COMPENSATING SPROCKET NUT)

Hi,

Are nuts same size for newer bikes? Have 2010 fxdwg which have to open primary to check for leak

And is better to leave bike on ground when doing this or have to have back wheel off ground for any reason?

Thanks
Mirrmu

Was this ever confirmed? I have an 09 street bob. 13/16" on compensator bolt and 1-3/16" on clutch hub nut? Do you need a deep socket for the clutch hub nut?

Now that my primary is open...on a 2009 dyna:
Compensator bolt-13/16" socket
Clutch lock nut (comes off before clutch hub nut) - 11/16" deep socket
Clutch hub nut- 1-3/16" socket, turn clockwise to remove.
