RE: Axel Wrench
HD will not sell the 36mm wrench to you....unless you are a HD mechanic, working for a dealership. I know because I just tried to buy one. The parts manager referred to it as a "speciality tool," and not available to the general public. However, thanks to the good brothers on this board, I was able to find one at ToolDiscounter.com. The part number is 9636.

07 Ultra Axle Nut Torque Adapter
I have found a tool made by Kent Moore exclusively for Harley dealers made to torque the rear axle nut of my Ultra, but it isn’t available to the public. After contacting several dealers I was told the tool wasn’t for sale claiming it was for their shop use. Searching long and hard, I’ve turned one up that looked like a China wanna-bee. The tool seemed light-duty and flimsy and only 6 point making it difficult to index. Also, the ½ inch drive location would appear awkward and difficult to use. The Harley manual is specific about keeping the torque wrench perpendicular to the centerline of the adapter for correct torque (see manual). Having said that, I’ve built my own tool made from ¼ inch zinc-plated mild steel, which is 12 point allowing easy indexing and long enough for angular alignment
clearing the stock exhaust. I’ve made and sold several of these high quality heavy-duty tools to friends and have since fabricated several others for sale to shops and individuals alike.
My company has a full-blown CNC shop that currently produces aircraft parts among other things. If interested in one of these units, please contact me using the subject line description in an email to order. We will set up payment through a Pay-Pal account in the next week or so with a price of $52.50 plus S&H and can provide details via return email.

RE: Axel Wrench
Looks OK,but for 39.55 from tooldiscounter.com you can get the same one that the Harley techs use and it is a rachet wrench.and you can adapt your torque wrench to it .I received mine acouple of weeks ago and it is a quality piece.
