After getting everything to remove the dreaded compensator bolt. With a bit of trepidation i progressed through the procedure. Came to the moment of truth locked up the sprocket and got a socket and about 16 in bar. As you do and being a big fella i thought well just give it a try, lo and behold nothing happened the sucker as they say is kin tight.
Bit of background bike is on a table with a ratchet strap on each side of crash bar. I got a cheapo 1600 kg trolley jack. placed it on the table which is homemade with a fair bit of bracing under the ply top. Lined up wheels with braces and jacked away. Initially iust put handle on the elevating frame all this did was slide the jack. Next i put the handle on the hollow of the jack, where you perch the object being lifted. And pumped away as soon as all the play was out it just started rotating, i then just used a 1/2 in ratchet. So the sucker was tight but the jack overcame the lock.
If you try this method make sure the handle, especially if it has a swivel, is perpendicular to the bolt..

 

Glad you found a way to improvise! It can be a tough bolt to remove.

The compensator bolt will come out rather easily though once it’s been heated up. It possible to damage the threads on the bolt or the crankshaft if it’s removed without heat.

Once removed, it’s a good idea to clean the threads of the crankshaft with a 9/16-12 thread chase or bottoming tap, and the blow it out with compressed air. Do a few turns at a time, back the chase put, blow air in the hole, and repeat until complete.

 

Heating the bolt to 500° will soften the thermoset plastic in a red Loctite.

Many people find using a heat gun for a few minutes on the bolt, will allow it to be removed without extreme measures...

My wife bought me a rather expensive tool called a Bolt Buster. It's a heat induction tool. (I love tools...!) It's invaluable on rusty, vehicle suspension jobs... much better than a torch..

I used it on a compensator bolt 2 times now, it made them come out much easier.....

 

Heat, or just a cheater pipe on the breaker bar, but don't try to rattle it off with a impact gun, since you will just knock the magnets off the inside of the Magneto.

 

Replaced a dozen of them. Used an impact driver. Not one issue. Just use a big enough one your not taking 5 seconds of rattling to get it off. They are on there with 170 ft/lbs.

 

I wanted one but the cost was a bit much after the compensator + bits. They look so cool.

 

Wouldn't hesitate to use heat, but I always check first to see if it will budge. The handle on my floor jack in the shop makes a perfect cheater bar. Haven't had to heat one yet.
