Compensating Nut Removal
Hi
I am replacing the stator on my 89 FLHTC and have come upon the removal of the compensating nut. How do I remove it? Can I use an impact? I dont want to hammer anything else loose! If not, how do I hold the engine from turning over? What is the torque when I tighten it up...and again, how do I hold the engine?
Thanks!
3 weeks and my manual is still not in....I cant wait any longer!

You can make a block out of wood, like rock maple or oak, make it only wide enough to hit the teeth on the sprockets. A 45 degree cut works good, then trim it as needed until it fits snug. You can see the teeth marks on mine.

Instead of buying a locking tool i went to walmart and got a rubber sanding block cut one end down pulled the little nails out and jambed it inbetween the sprocket and chainand used a socket and breaker bar worked good on my evo.

RE: Compensating Nut Removal
you are wrong.
Comp sprocket nut has usual thread.
CLUTCH HUB NUT has left hand thread.
If you are working solo...do what i do with that jam bar ready to put in place. Have the front wheel up against the garage wall.
I have taken mine on and off countless times, always used red loctite....150ft lb torque as per the manual...and NEVER needed to use an air gun.
