Clutch Went and Metal Shavings in Primary
#21
No real trick to it. I just did mine last week. Leftie loosey, righty tighty. It's not torqued very much unless someone over tightened it.

hub nut is l/h thread, adj nut r/h thread. excerpt from manual
NOTE
Clutch hub mainshaft nut has left-hand threads.
5. Clean and prime threads of mainshaft nut and apply two
drops of LOCTITE THREADLOCKER 262 (red) to the
threads. Start nut onto mainshaft and hand-tighten.
NOTE
The following step requires that PRIMARY DRIVE LOCKING
TOOL (Part No. HD-48219) be reversed during the procedure.
Back to the original problem. adjustments don't usually change to drastic unless something failed, I would disassemble and check the mainshaft splines, I have seen the splines shear off. That metal came from somewhere

you're assuming that they didn't do the work, when the assumption that you should be making is that they did, but they only put in the 32oz like a lot of old techs do, instead of the 38oz spec. I think that if they didn't change it at all, that it would look a lot dirtier than it does. after 5k, my primary oil is a lot darker than that. I don't get as much 'fuzz' as you have, but that doesn't necessarily indicate a problem.
put the bike in gear, have someone sit on it, and hold the brake.
for getting the proper torque on it when tightening, I use a t-handle allen key, and a 'pass-through' socket from craftsman.

Yeah tried that and not working. Going to have to get a 11/16" deep socket, lock the drive, and use my breaker bar. That **** is not coming off and I am just tearing up the outside of the nut at this point, so need a deep socket and will have to replace that nut when I get it off.
Thankfully there are no pieces of metal in the primary at all even after running a fridge magnet through there, so I am guessing it just came way out of alignment.
Now the question comes down to if I want to just upgrade that clutch to a better one when I am in there or not since I have the primary off and am in there.

One thing that just dawned on me is that they may have done this before and put that red loctite on there. So I will have to apply some heat to it, sounds bad though because judging by all the things I have seen today and read there are all sorts of seals behind it that may melt.
