Try putting a torch to the comp nut. Sometimes there is alot of red locktite on the threads.

 

OK, I'll bite. What's with the "No front porch steps" icon?

 

Edit: Oops, disregard ...

 

Google harley primary chain locker images. You'll see where they came up with the symbol.

I just use breaker bars. Put a cheater if you have to. Some people say I am stupid for following the manual and not using a impact. I jut don't find it that hard to do. I tie back brake down. Shove something in between chain and sprokcets. I get little nervous shoe will break.

Clutch of course is reverse thread.

 

I never looked at that as porch steps lol.
I think that was some type of lock that used to be used but for some reason they've changed it. That picture is from the official factory service manual. I made one from some stainless bar stock at work in about 2 minutes...i saw them for sale for 20 bucks !!! Some guys have made them out of a piece of hardwood too.

 

I used piece of snowmobile slide, which is hard plastic. I have heard plastic cutting boards. Rags, soft pine. I am not locking the sprockets but jamming the chain. Which does make me little nervous about stressing shoe.

I would replace inner bearing when I had it off probably. My 01 I replaced at 35k got another 45k and still fine. Didn't need to be replaced, and was repalced with after market My 07 I had to replace it around 30 and had to do it again around 57. Second time I went with baker one piece bearking, without race. It stays on shaft. Bought a cheap puller to get the old race off.

I don't know if 07 is putting more stress on it, or the cheap bearings they are using now. 01 is 98", so its not the increased power by any means.

 

OK, got it! Thanks! Porch steps from a doll house. That makes sense...
