Default HELP PLEASE!
I've just bought my first Harley and had to take out the engine. That was ok (its now back in place). However, my problem is I can't undo the 30mm nut that holds on the clutch basket. Does anyone know if it turns clockwise or anti-clockwise to come off???? I'd be really grateful for any help. I'm English and no one here seems to be able to help. Thanks in anticipation.

Left hand thread, recommend air impact for removal, you will need a puller to remove basket. Good luck.

P.S. Welcome from Texas
