So, am trying to take off the cone nut on an 04 Eglide standard.....have tried (but is too small) the 1 5/16 socket. One HD shop told me 1.5 inch, 2 others have mentioned 36mm....have now also tried 1 7/16....is just a squeek too big....based on my math, am thinking that the 36mm may be right.....as the 1 3/8 is 1.37xx inches, and the 1 7/16 is 1.143xx. THe 36mm is 1.41xxx ..anyone know what is right? service manual does not describe size. Thanks
Nurse

I also suspect that the EASY part was the tear down....I still have the HARD PART to go. | |

| the hardest part is putting the axle back through the wheel.....the jack will do the work, but you need to be able to control it very smoothly.....and keep the fingers out of harms way....pinchin em hurts............so i have been told....  | |

| antiseize the shaft of the axle first,
adj on the 1 inch axle bikes is straight forward.
Set tension on the floor.
What "cone" are you talking about? |

Nurse, if it makes you feel any better, my bike is STILL ripped apart. Been that way for months now. I actually don't have to work this weekend for the first time since about Thanksgiving. I plan on getting my fender on and putting this project to rest. Hopefully.......Hope you're having better luck than me. (you obviously are!!) | |

Took a look at the belt while I am in there..... had to look 3-4 times...... if THAT ever goes bad, not sure HOW that thing works!!! no master links to help!!!! Looks like a total PIA!!!! Maybe I WON"T hang that shingle!!!  Have to see.....first time doing this much work...so still a bit intemidating...... | |

Can barely keep my eyes open at night.....BUT, I did get my friend back into his house finally. Man, the kids were so happy they were actually in tears! I swear, I will get that bike done before riding weather sets in...... Good luck nurse, and BTW changing that belt is a bitch. One reason I did switch over to chain. | |

| I'll second and third that, changing that belt is no fun at all since you have to rip down the primary. I've busted my belt twice now and nothing sucks more. Even though I'm not running a wide rear end I may still switch over to chain just so I never have to change that damn belt again. | |
