07+ Mainshaft Sprocket Removal
Ok guys,
I could use some help in removing the mainshaft sprocket (pulley) on my 07 Ultra.
I have the pulley locking tool and the special 2-1/4" Socket Tool.
The manual states when installing this pulley to initialy torque the nut to 100ft-lbs, back it off and re-tighten to 35ft-lbs of torque. And rotate to align the plate lock, 35 to 45 degrees.
I have mine shot up with PB Blaster to loosen up the rust on it. However, it is definitely tighter than the 35ft-lbs or even the 100ft-lbs of torque stated above.
What are the tricks to loosen this nut and remove the pulley? Heat? Impact wench, etc?

Just did the removal on my 07 SG, it was quite the bitch, the manual states 100 ft/lb, turns out according to the service dept at the dealership the 07 was torqued to 600 ft/lb and of course coated with plenty of red loctite. I used a little heat from a propane torch and a big cheater bar to get it loose. I am not sure I would use the torch if I was just changing out the sprocket due to the possibility of the main shaft seal being damaged. A heat gun maybe.

You doing it THIS way? Try a pipe over the breaker bar for leverage.
I'm doing it exactly like the PDF, it won't budge. I can't get back to try it till Sunday, so it's soaking in PB Blaster right now. The post after you said his was 600ft-lbs. and it had locktight from the factory. How long of a breakerbar? I've got about 2-1/2 foot of leverage I'm using. Any worry of bending anything with the correct tools?
