Sorry for asking this but I searched and searched some more and can't find it, the nut holding the front sprocket on, what size is it...???
Like to put the 18 tooth sprocket I got from Randy.

Tip I picked up along the way. Look at the end of the 36mm (or 1 7/16) socket and you will notice that the front 1/8 (aprox.) in of the depth is tapered.

The sprocket nut is shallow.

Take and grind down the face of the socket so you get a good bite on the nut. I used a disk sander and just drove the face into it until I was happy. Belt sander or hand grinder would also work. try to keep it flat as you can. Now you have an "official" sprocket nut tool...  :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: It's not required just better. IMO

Drive sprocket 61 ft lb's (left off, right on)
Case cover 7.2 ft lbs    (strongly advise you do not exceed)
Clutch Cyl  7.2 ft lbs    (  "           "        "     "   "    "       )

Tip #2:  Don't remove the chain before loosening the sprocket nut.

Great tip!  I used it. The nut was on there pretty damn tight. Thanks!
