Compensator removal/install tool questions
#31
Ok here's a list of what I think I need, tell me if I'm wrong on anything or need to add to it.
1: 1 1/2" socket for comp bolt
2: t70 torx for se comp bolt
3: 1 3/16" socket for clutch nut
4: Primary locking tool
5: breaker bar
6: torque wrench
7: red loctite

Kinda unclear what this is for.....to tighten the new comp nut? or do you just use the primary locking bar for that with the T-70 torx?
Tackling this on my 08 FLHTCU once it warms up here. Have most everything assembled to go (tools, supplies, parts). maybe the 1 1/2" tool I read about is for a different bike?
Posted this in 2 threads, wasn't sure which would get a reply!

I have read for the SE comp install some suggest a 1 1/2" open ended wrench? (socket?)

I'm asking specifically about installing the NEW SE comp once my old one is removed. I read in some post the 1 1/2" was needed to help install the new comp? to hold a bolt while tightening the T70?

Issue is, when one reads a comp thread if the specific year of the bike isn't in the post/thread, it can get confusing/contradictory.
Once its warmer here will tear into it....then my questions will be answered.

thanks. Having read dozens of threads on this across multiple forums...lots of mixed info if the year of bike isn't present in the info.
