i asked at my local harley shop the other day and they told me that in order to bust the motor and trans apart i'll need a 1-1/2" and 1-3/16" sockets. i plan on removing the primary so i can get the motor our of my 92 fxr for harley's remanufacture program. i went to sears and got the 1/2" drive so i can use my impact driver. compensator sprocket nut is right hand thread and clutch nut is left hand thread. is this correct or do i gotta make another trip for sockets? i have a clymers book for the evo's for my year of bike, but i'd much rather use a real person's experience with this. heck, if those "dorks from new york", the OCC group can figure it out, then it should be a no brainer. thanks in advance for your replies.

 

yes they steered you right on everything....

i just had my primary apart putting mid-controls back on my FXR

1-1/2 and 1-3/16 is correct (I had to buy a 1-1/2 as well)

compensator is normal and the clutch nut is left-hand thread...so righty loosey

youll have to fabricate some sort of lock to keep everything from spinning when you loosen them and when you re-tourque them .........(i believe its 70-80 for the compensator and 80-100lb/ft for the clutch...or vise-versa)

i used a piece of flat stock cut to length to go between the two gears......

 

thank you 1990fxr. i got it busted apart today. next week i'll be hauling the engine up to the harley shop so they can send it off for the remanufacture program. it came apart just like the manual said.
