Hi All,
Going to be changing the compensator in my 2009 Electra Glide Classic in a few weeks. Can anyone give be a good dimension tip to tip on the length of the tool used to lock the sprockets so you can torque the bolts on the clutch drum and comp. I see several different lengths out there. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Mike

 

I made mine from some scrap 2x5/16 iron, 6" long. Fits pretty well.

 

On my '15 limited Low it's 6". Actually 5 15/16 I think but close enough.

Thanks for the information all. Made up my own. Hope to try it out thus week when all my parts come to reassemble. Also made up a tool to pull the inner primary bearing race off of the main shaft into the transmission. Thanks again, Mike

 

Very cool! I wish I had the talent and equipment to make my own specialty tools.
Since it's difficult to see in the picture you posted, I'm guessing the plate puller has an inner lip to reach behind the bearing race?

 

Thanks, and yes there is a lip on the collar. I just took a stainless steel camp collar that was about 3/16" too small to fit on the bearing race and bored it to fit the race and left about .100 on the back side so it would go behind the bearing race. Worked great. Odd set up though in Harleys part though. Usually a bearing or bearing race seats against a shoulder or a retaining ring of some sort to locate it. This race on the main clutch shaft was just pressed to leave a little space behind it and that's it. If you press it on too far when installing, it will compromise the seal on the drive sheaves bearing.

 

Yep, that's why people go with the S&S inner bearing race. It won't walk on the mainshaft.

You need one more tool. Lot's of examples on ebay and george's tool. Slight mod of your puller will probably work as a press if your hole is not to big to attach to the end of the LH thread. You need to press the sleeve on. Do not hammer it on. You need the control to stop in the correct position and hammering on that input shaft is not good on those bearings back in the transmission.
Harley had a reason for that inner race. If it goes, you can replace it with out doing the input shaft. If a free floating bearing ever goes, it's going to be big bucks to replace that input shaft.
