Front sprocket??

[thunder1295]

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...  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!
