I have an 05 fatboy and want to adjust the clutch. I have the service manual and understand the procedure, but would like to know if I need a special tool to do the adjustment (inside derby cover). Some say weld a nut on a socket, but I was wondering can I just do the adjustment with a wrench and hex. Thanks for your help.

Yes you can....I believe it's an 11/16. I did mine (FXDL) this past weekend using the manual...used a socket to "break" the nut free and then the hex for the adjustment..........piece of cake.

 

How did you hold the hex and tighten at the same time?

 

Srigas, You can take a pair of vise grips and clamp down on the socket. Then take a allen wrench and slide through the socket. When you get the adjustment where it needs to be. Take a hammer and wack the vise grip. Sort of shade tree but it will work. Booggerbe

I used a T handle hex and an open end 11/16 to tighten back up

 

Thanks I'll give it a go this afternoon.

Thats what I do too. You don't need to torque the nut down a bunch. Just snug.

 

17 mm box end worked great ; '07 flhrc

 

I adjusted my clutch this weekend and it went well. Thanks for all the tips.
