Surprise that no one has mentioned this to the guy...
Rarely... will you be at the point where you "might as well" go the rest of the way and remove the inner primary and replace the primary bearing and race.

I hear ya Eunoterpsia,,
But he was asking about comp replacement specific tools..
I suppose , (for me), it would come down to, if the 2009 bike has high mileage or not..
If it had high mileage , and some tell tales signs of oil leaks, it would be a no brainer to go deeper and remove the inner primary ... Hell, if your going this deep , and the bike is a keeper , why not think about a new belt .. More specialty tools, and may just get out of his comfort zone ...

Question, I took primary cover off to bring to Harley to glue the oil deflector on (they were out of adhesive and he said he would do it for me). The compensator nut on mine looks like it fit a 13/16" socket, I have read most used 1 1/2". Is this something that changed?

Just finished installing the se comp.
I tie wrapped the chain adjuster and after installing everything the chain has more slack than before. When I start it will it auto adjust the chain where it needs to be?
