Trans Sprocket Locking Tool
I'm changing sprockets to a 30 tooth and need to re-torque the nut. Anybody have this tool for rent for a '10 FLHTK or have another alternative to buying the tool?
Thanks in advance. |

A lot of guys have experimented with a lot of different ways to hold the trans pulley but with little success. There is a way but it requires a bit more work. Remove the transmission cover; remove the four bolts that hold the shift drum and shift forks; remove the drum and slide the forks over until the gears are jammed, this will lock it tight. Just be careful not to drop anything into the trans case while it is open.

When I did mine, I just cut a piece piece of 1/4" steel to length. Approximately 8 or 9 inches. Have it rest in the teeth and locks very easily with out any damage

if i remember right on a softtail you can place a piece of flat bar between a pulley tooth and frame member, had to do one last year, did not use a ladder lock and using trans gears are risky. if i get time, will take a jpeg and post since i have a rat outside for trans repair.

It was lodged between each, clutch sprocket and compensator sprocket teeth. It was lodged in a position that would lock it diagonally. Not straight across, but in an angle. Worked very nice and no damage to the sprockets.
I will post a picture to give you an idea |
Okay here is a picture of the primary when I was working on it. I drew in an image of where the flat bar would be to loosen the sprocket nut on crank.
It should give you an idea. I measured the distance between each tooth where I wanted the flat bar to rest. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...9d15b2156a.jpg |
