well if i had it apart, i would. i just know i dont have that size socket, and was wanting
to get it ordered from "snap-on" and have it on hand so when i got ready to
tear down the motor i would have it
I found this information on another web site. Hope this is what you need.
JIMS Mainshaft Sprocket Locknut Wrench 20003 Extra long two-piece design with inner collar that keeps the wrench on the nut for safer service work. 1 7/8" hex (OEM 94660-37A). Made in the USA Big Twins 1936-99
thank you very much smitty.thats exactly what im looking for.pretty pricey though.
probably as much as SNAP-ON. once again i really appreciate the info.
98 incher,
You're welcome, glad I could help out a fellow biker. I hope you get your bike fixed and you're in the wind real soon.
Be safe.

If its the tranny shaft nut, I went to the pawn shop and bought the size socket I needed for about three dollars, I cut the socket in half and welded a peice of 1 1/4 pipe about 5 inches long back inbetween the two peices and had a socket that would work for next to nothing.
If you have a Tractor Supply store nearby, they sell big sockets cheap, also harbor freight. I would cut one of theirs down and make the tool that grndpndr described out of a cheap socket too cause after all, you probably wont need it many times.
