Axle Nut Torque Adapter
The HD Service Manual indicates that a torque wrench and Axle Nut Torque Adapter, part # HD-47925 should be used to tighten the cone nut when adjusting the drive belt (Pg 1-21 in service manual). When I went to my friendly HD dealer this afternoon to purchase or order same, I was told that this item was a "speciality tool," and is only sold to dealer service shops....and is not for sale to HD owners or to the general public. I was advised to research Snap-On or Matco tools to find an equivalent.
So, the question is: Do any of you have this HD tool? If so, where did you purchase it? If you purchased an equivalent, who sells it?
Thanks.

I just take the muffler off and use a 36MM socket on a torque wrench. With them out of the way, the rear wheel is a lot easier to clean and polish.

I just loosened the muffler like cwilks suggests. 36mm socket is the right size.

You can find an equivalent toolhere. This one is nice because it has the 1/2" square drive for torque. There are othersimilar wrench's that only have 3/8" square drive for torque.
I don't actually own it yet but will in the near future.
