I am changing out the rear tire on my 2008 FLHR. Harley makes an axle holder so the axle does not move when I tighten it. what is the part called? I tried many variations and cant find it.

 

Snug axle nuts and set the stops on both sides for proper belt tension and tracking. Torque and recheck tension to service manual spec and procedure.

 

Tried that many times but one side still turns a bit when tightened.

 

Third Hand Axle Locker Tool...

 

That works fine until you try it with a cam/axle adjuster setup...you must hold the other side with a wrench.

I've always been able to use two socket wrenches and just get behind the motorcycle holding the wrench in my left hand on the left side of the motorcycle and using a torque wrench on the right side with my other hand. Maybe a little cumbersome, but certainly not difficult.

 

I call it a stick with screws in it. Works great.

 

And exactly how does that stick prevent the other end of the axle from turning when you torque the nut?

The op is not looking for a tool to measure the axle alignment, he is looking for the wrench that holds the other end of the axle when the nut is torqued on an cam type axle adjustment system.
