Transmission Sprocket Nut - Removal ????
I am swapping out my 32T transmission sprocket on my 07 Ultra to a 30T sprocket. I know that this is a right handed threaded nut, but I can't break it loose. I have the sprocket locked with the Georges Garage locking tool and I am using his special socket. I have even modified his socket to accommodate a 3/4 breaker bar. Using the 3/4" breaker bar and a four foot pipe with my 220lb friend standing on the pipe is not breaking it. I have also used a torch on the nut to loosen the red locktite and used numerous impact guns on it.
What am I doing wrong? Or what advise can you guys give on breaking this nut loose?? Maybe I need to rent a 3/4" impact gun with more power....
Thanks,
Scott

My manual states that it is a Right Handed thread, plus it is stamped RH on the transmission sprocket. With both of that, I should have no question. Right???
Here is a page from my manual:

The first time I removed my factory nut I had to cut it with a dremml tool. I tried the 3/4 bar with a cheeter then moved to a chissle but I was worried id screw up the threads as it was so dam tight. Cut the frekkin thing and buy a new nut!

From all my searching... Harley made a change from left to right handed I believe sometime around 07. Why would my manual and the pulley on the bike say RH? I am so confused.... Now I don't know what to do.... Starting to think I might have to cut it off.....
