FULLSAC,
Preparing to tear apart my primary and replace compensator, bearing, chain tensioner and inner primary. Will convert to 30T pulley and Sportster belt. In the past you have mentioned the need for a 2 3/4" deep socket for dis assembly. What size socket?

[ut1391h]

2 1/4 " socket and you will have to modify it so it is deep enough. I just did mine and socket cost 60 bucks. HD gets 130 for their tool.

Thnx ut1391h.

Did you start out with a 3/4" drive bearing locknut type socket, or a more conventional socket?

resqdoc,

I have made 2 (can't remember the sizes off the top of my head), one for my 2K RG and one for my 2011 SG. I did the same for both, started with a socket I had laying around from a 4wd front end (similar to the link you posted). Then I purchased a socket from Sears, I cut the ends off both and welded them together to make a deep socket. Mine were both 1/2" drive, which is good so it went right on my 1/2" impact. On the 2011 I cut a piece of 1" thick wood with a hole saw, the first cut was the ID of the socket, so it would forcefully go into the socket. The second cut was the OD of the shaft. I put the chunk of wood in the back socket before I welded the two of them together, this made a support for the shaft so the socket didn't get off center. Hope that all makes sense, I am better at wrenching than typing  At some point you have to look at the cost of a store bought tool $120ish, vs. all the work and buying the sockets.

I don't like the look of the Amazon socket. I saw a 3/4 drive set the other day for 35 - 40 bucks and you could use two of the sockets from the set to make your tool. A forged socket will work best as the nut with red Loctite is some kind of tight and to re-tighten after pulley installation will take a 3' cheater pipe.

Just the feedback I was looking for. I find the right tool. Thanks again.

A few yrs ago,   I needed an odd-size large socket to pull the front hubs from my 4WD Toyota truck.   I went to Agri-Supply and they have an assortment of foreign made sockets that work OK for things like this.   Mine was a 3/4 drive as I recall.   I think they have catalog ordering too.

Check it out.

Just recieved the Georges-Garage socket (and other stuff too). Wow, what a damn fine tool. Very well built.

I got my Primary torn down without any issues. I had ordered an Andrew's 31T pulley. When I went to install it, it is the wrong size. The internal (splined) diameter of my stock pulley is 1.96". The Andrews pulley is 1.72". Anyone else run into this?

I'm going to return it and have decided to go ahead and go the Triglide 30T pulley and 136T Sportster belt route. I'll probably be happier in the mountains where I ride anyway.

Any reason to suspect the Triglide pulley won't fit?

You definitely want to go 30T on that one. Use the Tri Glide, no issues.

Hey can anyone tell me if the comp. nut is right or left handed threads. My book says the clutch basket is left handed threads and they are right handed. I am changing out my tran. sprocket and the comp. nut seemed really tight. So I wanted to make sure the manual was not wrong with that one too. Thanks sprinkman

[resqdoc]

You didn't specify what year.

I just did mine

The compensator nut (bolt actually) is normal Right handed.
