I thought the manual said to coat the nut  side  facing the pulley with red lock tight not oil???   as well as threads.

Either way.  They indicate on a used nut that you can lubricate the bearing surface of the nut and sprocket with loctite or oil.  I prefer oil, which is more in line with the method used on other parts.  Maybe they offer the other option for those who are sloppy and tend to get the loctite all over the side of the nut anyway?   The main thing is to lubricate the sliding surface so that excessive friction doesn't seriously affect the actual clamp load.  This is common practice whenever you're dealing with relatively high torque values, where the error due to excess friction becomes greater.  Think head bolts, compensator bolts or nuts, etc.

Little off subject, I just purchased a polished SS bolt kit for my engine, dab of oil on the seating surface when I change bolts?

Use anti seize  with aluminum with stainless fasteners

Well got it all back together today. Brother had his shop build a tool to hold the pulley. Worked great, would've never been able to do the
extra 35-40 degrees with out it. Put the 30 tooth gear in, like how it helps getting out-of the hole.

Just curious, what belt did you use?

+1 Meaning I would like to know too. A friend has the Drag belt on his 120 powered Street Glide. I has over 100 miles including the dyno tuning. Fe is recovering from surgery and hasn't even ridden it yet. I think it came out at 138 hp and 146 torque. Should be able to break the Falcon if they are weak.

I hope the +1 last longer than a Falcon.
