I'm trying to remove the compensator nut from my 06 Electra glide. I have the locking block in place and my 1.5" socket with breaker bar. For the life of me I can not break loose the nut. I'm almost tipping the bike over trying to break the nut loose. I'm turning the counter-clock wise. This is the first time the nut has been removed and I have 47K miles on the bike.

Should it be this hard?
Is there a trick to this?

Thanks carcruizer

 

I have a friend who's a lot stronger then me and he helps me with that. He's done a bunch of them and he still struggles with it. They really come off hard especially the first time. The manual says not to, but they use a impact wrench at the dealerships. The are loctited on. You kind of need to pop them instead of just pulling. Good luck.
