Can someone tell me what size socket I need to pull the compensating nut?
Also - righty tighty? Or lefty loosely?
81 model shovelhead

 

Compensating sprocket is 1 1/2" right hand thread. The clutch hub nut is 1 1/8" and left hand thread. Make sure you torque them when reinstalling!!!

Autozone sells the 6 sides ones, if you only have a 12 point. The 8 bucks is worth not risking ruining the socket or nut.

 

Thanks! Got the info & got the assembly off.
