Make sure that the face of the socket is flat, not tapered or rounded. You get a better grip on that big nut that way.

Another good tip thankyou.
Just came in from garage and now realize the 1-7/8 socket I was going to cut down is a 12 pt and not a 6 pt so I will see if I can find a 6 pt.

I bought a tool for this on ebay. its a very deep socket and includes a round sleeve that goes over the mainshaft, to prevent the tool from slipping sideways off the nut. seems it was about $35.

For anyone who has replaced the stock pulley (32T) with a 30 tooth pulley, did you have to change the belt? I read on the Twinkie forum that a shorter belt was required, just wondering if there's enough room to adjust it tight on an EVO.

Not meaning to hi-jack, seemed like it related to front pulley removal.

The attached tech notes at the bottom gives adjustment lengths for each tooth changed that will help with your current axle position

Twinkee forum, Twinkee forum, your treading into the dark side and I'm surprised you made it thru the synthetic debates and back to us. Visit the Peace and Quiet section if you feel you need cleansed.

Hey thanks Bagger! LOL, I scan the new posts when I dry up the material on the EVO forum and just happened to run across this one! I try my best to stay away from: chaps, fingerless gloves, poser, biker, and union threads! It just ain't worth the brain cells!

Monster tool is made , used a 6 pt 1" drive. Question this winter I will be changing the back tire and normally what I do is just push the axle through and drop the wheel , reason is I hate trying to get wheel adjusted evenly. I have the front sprocket nut off and sprocket will come off if I loosen belt which I don't want to do but in the same note I plan on pulling the tranny out for inspection which means tapping mainshaft/tranny through, see where I'm goign with this? So would I be better off to drop rear wheel or tap main shaft through sprocket?
