Hi Everybody.

I have 2 files about tools for HD's (both are on here and would have to be searched for).
The first is called suggestion for tools for Harley Davidsons, and the second is what spanner fits what.

So I thought I'd combine them and put it here.
Hopefully it should be of use.

Tools for Harley Davidsons.
--------------------------

Make sure all yer spanners have a ring end - far, far better grip on those bolts.

10mm spanner - this is the token metric tool but Vital - for battery bolts.

Spanners:
1/2, 7/16, 9/16, 11/16, 3/8, 5/8 are the most common sizes.
You can get ratcheting spanners with half on on end and 9/16
on the other - VERY handy.

But you will find that smaller and bigger sizes get the use too.

Sockets: same again. Sometimes you need a socket, sometimes a spanner
works best, often you need to hold the bolt with the socket while
You loosen/tighten the nut with the spanner. Cover yourself on both.

14mm spark plug socket.

Oil filter strap socket

Big, big socket sizes like 1 1/16 come in very handy when you start removing
rear axle, removing compensator sprocket. These can fetch £10-15 a socket.
To make sure you buy right, look at the metric/imperial conversion guide in
your factory manual (VERY handy page that), use your metric socket/s as a
guide, and go to the shop informed !

3/8 drive breaker bar for some of the above jobs.

Whatever drive you choose, get a little extension bar and a knuckle (bendy
bit for tight fits). A very good quality socket wrench is worth 5 cheap ones

Needle nose pliers - these also fish out nuts that you have dropped

£2 Magnetic 'pen' - see above

Quality torque wrench - critical if you get into base gasket job, primary
teardown, etc, but buy one that covers the values you need
(typically 12-160 ft lb)

Leatherman multi-tool

Ratchet screw driver with magnetic bits

Rubber/plastic mallet/hammer

Heavy ''No 1 tool'' skullcrusher hammer for driving out axles, bearing
races with drifts, etc

Allen key set with BALL ends at one end - these let you get to tight allen
heads at an angle

Break out the propane torch and ruin, sorry, *customise* an 11/16 spanner by
bending it so you can hold the clutch adjuster nut while altering the
adjustment with allen key. without removing outer primary.... I'll show you
my one in spring!

I aways carry 3ft spare wire & connectors, spare circuit breaker/s, bulb or
two, spare battery ground cable, battery bolts.

The key with tools is always Buy Good Ones. You don't have to go to Snap On
(who can afford them ?) but stay away from the Taiwanese specials at the
street market.

Junk will always ending up biting you in the ass.

dave what size socket fits the front pully, behind the clutch housing , on a t/c as i need to alter it slightly to fit my lads impact gun ,was thinking of sawing it in half ,welding in 3 to 4 inches of tube so it fits over the shaft when tightening up big pulley nut

1 7/8" and you want a spacer to keep it straight.

Belt Install 3
