I've seen posts here or elsewhere that show homemade pulley sprocket tools. You might find one and save a bunch of time making it. The pulley sprocket tool I have has a bushing that spins onto the end of the shaft and holds the socket at 90 degrees to the nut so you don't pull it down and wreck the nut or shaft. It is also squared off on the nut end for full engagement. The nut is pretty thin.

Damn I never even thought of that! A bushing inside....hmmm...what about a bunch of washers the right od to fit inside the socket and id to go over the shaft stacked together???
Also, I'm not at the computer to look at my manual, but what's the torque on the sprocket nut?? I didnt think it was much over 50ft/lbs but feel like ik way off with my guess at the moment

My 1993 service manual says 110-120 ft/lbs for the sprocket nut.

Tighten the transmission sprocket nut an additional 30°- 40°.

UPDATE
All back together, STILL LEAKS LIKE I NEVER EVEN TOUCHED IT....I am beyond frustrated...I know my mechanical capabilities, and this was not beyond it in the slightest (I've built 5 engines for drag cars, automatic and manual transmissions, as well as the car surrounding the engines). I'm pretty ticked...part of me wants to take it to a mechanic even though I dont ever have someone else fix my stuff, but I feel like it would be somewhat of a waste if I changed everything to new and followed the manual to a T, what are they going to do differently?
On top of that, bike has a scary front end wobble at 60mph and the starter only catches sometimes now since putting it back together....I love my luck
