The best thing that you can do at this time is to purchase the HD factory manual for your bike. It contains all the information on what needs and how to do it. All specs and factory torqe information. A manual is the bike owners Bible. Later Fairshake

Hey RHPAW thinks I might off ...... Thanks for help ....might be a mid life crisis but loving this bike thing ......

Bible on the way ............

If you don't want mess with that chain adjuster check out the Hayden automatic chain adjusters at HaydenM6.com, you just might change your mind. I've had one on both of my Dyna's for 12 years, no problems.
