I want to put a chrome inner primary housing on my 2002 FXSTS. I've been an auto tech for 35 years, and between me and the two other guys in the shop we have pretty much every automotive hand tool made. Are there any special tools that are a must have to do this job, or are there any good substitutions for any of the special tools?

 

A good impact and a service manual are a good start. There is a tool for holding the sprocket still while removing the motor and clutch nut but you can improvise. I use an old tensioner shoe to jam between the sprocket and the chain.

 

Or a chunk wood or plastic and place it between the chain and sprocket teeth and it will stop it from spinning.. other wise, u have everything u need if u have all the automotive tools to fix most cars...
