SubscriberI am having great difficulty getting the nut on the crankshaft to loosen. I have a 1/2 2 foot breaker bar and I put a 3 foot pipe on it, put the trans in gear and put a 2X4 across the swingarm through the rear wheel I stood on the pipe and bounced, the nut did not budge. I bought a electric impact wrench rated at 230ft lbs and that did not budge the nut either. I am trying to turn the nut to the LEFT (lefty loosy)I hope that is right.
If you got a way please let me know!

EditorYou may need to heat up the nut with a torch to melt the loctite

SubscriberYep, I came in the house to refill my coffee and expressed my displeasure to my wife about this nut. After I brewed my cup I told her I am headed down to Harbor Freight to get a torch, she said go out and try it one more time before you go,I put the wrench on it and the nut just came right loose with no effort? I went back in and asked what do you know, she said she had prayed. I said to bad you did not pray about him preserving the trans in the first place LoL.
So its all good. I’ll clean up the threads and put red loctite on it when I assemble it.
Thanks for the quick response. I have the trans ready to come out I am just waiting on the special socket to remove that nut on the drive side.
By the way I know the compensator nut torque is like 165ftlbs what is the torque on the 4 bottom trans nuts and that special 1 7/8 nut?
