Well I went to adjust my clutch on my 08 Ultra the other day, usually I just let the dealer do it when I have them do my service, but since cash has been tight I did my own 10,000 mile service.
I saw my nut had been rounded off from the techs using open end wrenches to tighten the clutch while holding the allen and I thought this is stupid.
I also see where many folks have talked about welding a nut onto a socket so the allen fits though it.
So I went to my tool box and what I found works the best is an 1 inch off set box end wrench. It fits perfectly 11/16th and comes right out of the primary like it was made for it.
Here is a link for craftsman which has them for $15 Just thought it might make it easier for others and no more slipped wrenches or rouned nuts.
