Default Clutch adjustment ?
I'm adjusting my clutch(2006 RK) and when I go to loosen the the 11/16" nut in the center of the clutch housing, the clutch pack just rotates with the locknut. Anybody have this happen? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Give the wrench a sharp rap with the palm of your hand, it should break free.

Got it, just rapped the ratchet a little harder like Stro suggested. The wife said the only time I better call her into the garage is if I'm trapped under the bike..... ; )

Since we are on the subject, are you guys torqing down that nut or just tightening it? I can't see how to get a torque wrench on there while holding that adjusting screw at the same time.
