If you still have the stock clutch, the central 'spring plate' is known to break up. So remove the plates first and inspect them.

I'll put a $20 on stripped trans pulley splines.

Any tips on getting the nut off the front primary chain sprocket. I have heated it to 180 degrees and have a 18" breaker bar, and I still have not got it to come loose. According to a harley video that I watched, the front sprocket is right hand thread.

I used a piece of fence post on a breaker bar to break mine loose. I hear that an impact gun is no good as it may damage it.

The first time I did mine I had to use a 5' cheater pipe to get it loose.
Now I just use a rattle gun to take it off.
