Default HELP tool size clutch adj. screw

Hey Guys,

Hope you can help me out.
Today I wanted to adjust the clutch on my '99 RKC
when I took off the derby cover and looked at
the adjuster screw, I didn't seem to have
the right size allen wrench [:@]
I have a set of L-shaped hex keys with ball ends
1/16 - 5/64 - 3/32 - 1/8 - 5/32 - 3/16 - 1/4 - 5/16 - 3/8"
but none of these would fit.
I have the official factory manual for my scoot
but could not find the answer to my question.

Thanks for your help

Peter (Netherlands)

Hi 2003FLHPI,

I've seen this video, but it doesn't answer my question
on what size hex key I need for the adjuster screw.

Greetings,
Peter

The only thing he does not mention is the size of the Allen wrench.

Ball ends don't work worth a darn on these holes are too shallow.
Just went through my 1998, 2001, 2006 FLHT
Service manuals. None give the size of the allen wrench and I didn't think to
write it in book last time I did it.
But it is a common sae size, 3/16, 1/4, I believe one of those two, but not
sure.
And I'm not going to open the derby tonight just ot look.

Thanks Choochoo,
I tried both, 3/16 is too small, 1/4 to big [&:]
Not expecting you to open the derby just to look
Thanks anyway.
