Special Tools
Im away from homeright now and get home every month for a weekend. I want to order the special tools I will need to change my inner primary while Im gone,so they will be there when I get home.
Can anyone tell me what special tools I will need to complete the job?
I have about every other tool imaginable right now, just not HD special needed tools.
I already have a service and parts manual, but it's at home. I'm not.

RE: Special Tools
2008 model
HD-47977 / Primary drive locking tool....(just a tapered flat bar)
you should be able to just roll up a red shop rag and stuff it in the between the chain and sprockets.....Dawg had made one from a piece of flat steel...
The book says that you can pull the ROTOR (charging) off by hand....and put it back on by hand...those magnets are powerful so dont lose a finger going off or on with it....No tool is listed (no puller whatsoever).
snap ring pliers and regular hand tools for the rest of it.

RE: Special Tools
Yup flat bar works great. You'll need a big honking socket to remove the clutch pack. I think it was something like 1 3/8 or something like that, can't remember now
also need a breaker bar or a makeshift one (like a jack handle) to break the nut loose on the comp sprocket.

RE: Special Tools
No Problem. I have 1/2" socket sets from working on Large Industrial Gas Turbines in my past life.
Plenty of heavy stuff, breaker bars, extensions all the heavy stuff.
When I went to use a 3/8" socket set now, it feels like a tiny unit.
But at least I have the right tools for whatever comes around the corner. Thank goodness I didnt have to
buy 3/4" drive sockets[:'(]
I was going to ask you about this directly Dawg.
But I kinda felt like I was asking too much lately.

RE: Special Tools
I picked up a full 3/4" socket set with ratchet at the local auto parts store about a month ago for less then $100, It goes from 1" up to 2 1/2" I think well worth the money to me, it's a cheap set but it works for the 4 times I have opened it up so far. Saved me a fortune on gas money if I had to drive the Excursion around all the time to get the right socket from work everytime.

RE: Special Tools
you can buy rent beg borrow a straight bar puller for the rotor.
however, in a pinch, thread two bolts into it. clamp a vice grip
to bolts and pull. Not recommended but it will work.
for chain lock a piece of rubber mudflap works, or rubber hammer
handle, You want some cushioning between teeth on sprocket and chain,
or you can buy the special tool.
Unless they changed designs 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 ( manual not handy) for the comp
sprocket (just watch for any shims or spacers and be sure they go back same
place.
Clutch I think is 1 3/16 (been a while since I did one), it is left hand thread.
I think also a small snapring plier is needed and a torque wrench.
rest is common tools.

RE: Special Tools
I had to replace the stator in my evo a couple of weeks ago.
I used an electric 1/2 drive impact wrench to remove the compensator nut and the clutch.
I did not need a tool to hold the primary while removing them.
I did use rags to hold them while torqueing them back on. It will eat the rags.
You can insert the short end of a couple of small allen wrenches into the stator and use them to pull it off.
You don't need any kind of puller.
You do need to keep your fingers clear of the back side of the stator when you put it back on. Those magnets are pretty strong.
It is a fairly simply job.
Good luck.
