Mine's a creation of 1" bar stock. Cut into 6 pieces of 5 1/2 ". The big nut itself was placed inside for internal support/correct positioning and the pieces wrapped once around to hold in place. Then spot welds to hold together ,then the nut tapped out. Then more final welds along the lenghts. Then 2 recesses were cut into one end to drop into place the 7 " piece of 5/8 solid round stock which was welded into place as a tightening/striking handle. Splatter ground off. Works well ,remember the big LH nut itself has beveled corners on one side ,this side mates up with the drive sprocket itself. A fun mini-project I recall.

I just got a 1.5" wrench :| It was like $12 at my local version of harbour freight. I also hold it perpendicular to the frame rail and use a fishing scale right above the open end for torquing. The wrench I have is 14" long from the nut centre line to that point so I only have to pull with 60lbs of force on the fishing scale, if pulling perpendicular to the wrench
Works if you take the outer primary cover off and hold the brake, have had zero problems with this method.

This is a nut removal thread not a nut install thread. Anyhow, the monster socket on the end of a torque wrench is also quite handy. 80 ft lb ish. I will get it close to 80 ft lb then back off slightly if needed to fit the retainer ring. I think torque number are suggested limits and not simply suggested.

if $32 bucks is big time bucks for a Norton repair - you haven't had your bike a very long time! :shock:

I laugh when some forum member says he's cheap, as in frugal. If you are cheap you damn sure shouldn't own a Norton.
I would imagine Jim Comstock is well aware of cheaper sockets. His OTC suggestion is, no doubt, in keeping with his standards of quality.
