do it in a gear or neutral?...if yes, does it matter which gear?
not sure but it seems to me you have to be in gear to tighten the lock nut
thanks

Put it in first gear to tighten locknut
and use a socket wrench.

Put a extension on your torque wrench and use an open end crowfoot.

I welded a nut on a deep well 11/16 socket....stick a t-handled allen thru the socket to hold adjustment and tighten with 11/16 wrench

RE: clutch pack adjustment?
As long as the subject came up,
so you loosen the locknut, back the adjuster out all the way, tighten it down until you feel resistance, back it out 1/2 turn, and tighten lock nut.
At the tightening the adjuster down part, do you turn until you feel ANY resistance, or turn until you feel it "hit bottom" so to speak? When I did mine, I could feel SOME resistance a little bit before the "hit bottom" stage, so I would like to know which is correct, or am I just splitting hairs?
