Working on a friends softail, and I have a question.

manual for my 09 says lefthand threads turn clockwise to loosen/i just searched some hd sites and about half say lefthand and the other half say righthand.

manual for my 09 says...

lol we are talking about a 1984 Harley Softtail, correct? From the pics, dry clutch 4-speed. Rare bike.

no kidding figured they might be the same.i would say ask this on an hd forum but they cant seem to agree either

And that is why I didn't suggest that route. Those places are a quagmire. Too many preachers singing the same old song. Like the BW

i was looking at some more hd sites and they really cant agree either way.the only thing they seem to agree on is a 4ft pipe to get it loose.i guess thats why some are bitching about broken sprocket teeth.

That's why I have an electric impact wrench. In the time we have chatted about it I could have the entire primary off and on the bench. Without a special puller for the clutch hub. Those old hogs are easy.

Yep half inch electric impact is the way to go.

I don't have one.

I'll borrow one tomorrow.

I'm tired boss.
Dog tired.

for between the sprockets try some cheap soft aluminuim or brass bar stock.
