Just looked at this thread again. We used a 1/2" impact and it worked hard getting the nut loose on the compensator. So we stopped at one of those travelling tool shows that set up in hotels, motels, and granges. they had a 3/4" impact for $39. We fihured what the heck, bought it and it works great!!! So if you see one of these shows around take a look. We bought ours about 5-6 years ago so they might be getting more now, just a thought.

 

Yeah, I agree that a bigger tool might do the job better ( some women attest to this too) but all I have at home is a 3cfm compressor the volume of air has a lot to do with the power delivered to the job.

 

Well, the job was mostly complete on Saturday, just have floor boards and shifter to put back on. Sunday we got 12+ inches of snow which I have been busy clearing. Kind of depressing since it hit 50 degrees last week and almost got rid of enough ice and snow to ride. I may need to get a 1/8" longer bolt for that hole I repaired since the hole was somewhat deeper than I expected and the helicoil seated kinda deep. Biggest pain was when I buttoned up the inner and then noticed that I had forgottten to install the lock ring for the pulley. Doh! I did install a new oil seal on the main Tranny shaft, didn't have the seal protection sleeve as the HD seal installer kit was 128.00 at the stealer.

 

as long as you are going back in there be sure to clean the inside of compensator nut really good. Loctite can build up in there and give you a false torque reading.

 

I was installing the inner primary on my bike today and realized how built up the loctite was in the comp nut, its soaking in varsol overnite.
