i have a 1991 electra glide. followed procedure to adjust clutch, but when i tried to loosen the locknut, the clutch basket moved and the nut would not come loose. is this normal? what should i do to keep the basket from moving? sorry if this is a dumb question, but i don't want to mess anything up. thanks in advance for your replies!

 

Put the bike in first gear and make sure your loosening the nut.

 

i did that and it still moves!

 

If you're sure you're turning the right way (as it's reverse: turn clockwise to loosen), then make sure the chain is held stationary. I put a screwdriver handle between the compensator nut end teeth and the chain, but they also make a tool to do this.
