Greetings All,
In the past when I have installed the crank sprocket I found that a lenght of flat stock placed between a row of sprocket teeth and the primary case mounting stud was all I needed to be able to torque the cranknut to spec.
With the installation of my new primary belt drive I was alittle reluctant to try the same method, as the pulley has much smaller teeth and being aluminum, is softer.
What I ended up doing is using alittle loctite on the nut along with the new lock washer provided with the kit, and then gave it 3 or 4 shots with a 1/2 inch electric impact.
I'm not too worried about it, but, was wondering if and how any others have dealt with this situation?
justa thought,
