Took the right size 3/4 in drive socket ...cut it in half welded a piece of black pipe in the middle....works great... used it hundreds of times! Made one for both size nuts!
Thank you for the comment and glad you are enjoying the vidoe's. Always nice when I can fabricate something to help complete a job. A lot cheaper than buying one these days. Hopefully it will help others when they have problems and show them that it doesn't always go easy.
@itsmytimeletsgo Ralph what I think is Kool is your attention to details. I also think it's great that you are sharing your knowledge. I come from the school of nobody told you anything about why or what they were fixing. I could watch them old fellows but don't ask anything. I was told if you don't know how to do it by now watching, you will never know. Maybe you can relate? Or maybe you were one of the lucky ones?
Actually other than learing by doing, since my first harley in 1974, and going to Harley school in 1989, I had to teach myself most everything up to this day. Did not have a mentor sadly and learned things the hard way, before there was the internet. Now I feel it is time for me to pass on some things to the next generations, that might be interested. When us old guys are gone there will be a lot of knowledge lost for those who are loving working on old Harleys and want to keep them going for years to come. Thanks for commenting. It is always appreciated!!
Thanks for your expertise on this. Well done as usual. Loved the picks of old yeller. Wished I had a shovel instead of this piece of crap. Looks like the compensator is next.
Glad you enjoyed it and it was great to spend a few days with you getting things right. Guess I will see you again to fix the compensator. Glad you enjoyed the pics of Old Yeller!!
I've never had a clutch hub nut that stubborn. You had a fight there. I do the trap door deal to make room for the bushing puller. Usually when you have one without enough clearance to get the puller on its because somebody drove one in to far. Nice shop built tool. Most of mine are the ebay knockoffs of Jims.
Yes just wanted to show it is not always easy and this one definately was not. I may try the trap door thing next time, when the exhaust is easier to get off than a decker ha ha. Lucky to be able to fabricate some tools. They are so expensive these days and many just cannot afford them...me included. Thanks for the comment. Appreciated!
Very nice, ever think of making up a some of those sockets, im sure would be a great little side cash since Jim’s are so expensive, make them for the new size ??
Thinking about it ha ha thining about coming for a visit, maybe to show other what you are up to and show that there are some pretty talented people on this coast. I will be in touch. Thanks for commenting Appreciated!
That nut would have come if you used a fine tip oxy-propane or oxy-mapgas torch and a 4 foot Johnson bar. The oxygen raises the heat high enough to melt the red loctite and the fine tip keeps the heat concentrated.
just want to throw this in there, on the race I used the puller and a torch fought it for a day then decided to use heat with a impact slid right off... and the clutch assembly is left hand thread but the pully is right hand thread....
I ended up building my own, cut the hex out on my plasma machine. To expensive to buy ha ha. Thanks for the info, about what you did, so others will know. Thanks for commenting!
been there, if you remove the right side mainshaft nut on the trapdoor the mainshaft will slide left enough to get the primary race off the shaft. the impact from your gun is being absorbed by the belt, next time you get a broken belt use part of it to make a strap wrench, without distance between the rear and front pulley absorbing the impact they come right off.
I've heard of that but requires a lot of work, remove exhaust, trans fluid, etc. But I have heard it does work sometimes. Each to their own. Thanks for the belt info.

Hey Ralph just wanted to say what a slick tool you made!! I really enjoy your videos!! Can't think you enough for sharing your wisdom!!!

Very cool 👍
Glad you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Appreciated!

I hardly have time to make stuff for myself ha ha. Great idea though. Thanks for commenting.
When do I get to make my cameo appearance on your channel? Lol, gret stuff Ralph!
Thinking about it ha ha thining about coming for a visit, maybe to show other what you are up to and show that there are some pretty talented people on this coast. I will be in touch. Thanks for commenting Appreciated!
Thanks Ralph!
So glad I could help you out as that is what drives me to do the channel. Helping others. Thanks for commenting.
First off you called the Road King a bloody softail for some reason Ralph, better than a softail :)
I might have said the wrong thing at some point, but the work is the same. Hope you were still able to enjoy the video. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for letting other know how you did it. Maybe it will work for others equipped to do so. Thanks for commenting.

and the clutch assembly is left hand thread but the pully is right hand thread....
Thanks for commenting and letting others know what you did.
All I do is weld a piece of pipe to the race around the same size as the race. Then attach that pipe to my bearing puller.
Interesting concept.. Always great to hear how other inovate to fix a problem. Thanks for sharing and commenting.
buy a 2 1/4" deep socket. cut it in half and weld a piece of tube between the 2 pieces. Cheap and quick and you have a socket for life.
I ended up building my own, cut the hex out on my plasma machine. To expensive to buy ha ha. Thanks for the info, about what you did, so others will know. Thanks for commenting!
Good stuff! Wish I had a plasma lok

Huh I'm doing this right now, great 🙄
The pulley nut is left thread, like the clutch nut...
On most yes but on these particular models I believe they are right hand thread, stamped right on the pulley as I recall. thanks for commneting..
YOufoundthe damn-cursed Harley if ever there was one...
Not cursed but definatly neglected. It should be a fun project. Thanks for commenting.
Oops I stand corrected, after 07 they went to right hand thread.
Yes they did. Thanks for commenting.
Not sure about all the models, there could be differences. Thanks for letting others know your experience here. @@StansTowing
How much did Eleanor cost.
About $19,000.00 Canadian by the time it was here, shipping, taxes, exchange etc. Thanks for the question and commenting.
Oops. pretty sure that pulley nut is left hand thread.
Not on 2007's. Earlier models yes. Thanks for commenting.
@@itsmytimeletsgo Im about to take one off a 09 superglide with a 96in twin cam. do you know if that will be right or left hand thread?
I think it is right hand thread. Should be stamped on the pulley. Good luck.@@Dexatron
@@itsmytimeletsgo for future reference, it is marked RH threaded on the pulley for a 96tc 6speed (09).
