E Glide cone nut

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

well, sorry guys.....I have short patience....went and got a 36MM from auto zone for a 1/2 inch breaker bar....my bike is now suspended well above the floor with no back wheel.... TOMORROW, I plan to get new skin hung....also got the new break pads, so will be putting them on also......at least on the back. The dis-assembly went smoothly once I had the right socket.....I am just hoping that the RE-Assemly goes smoothly....that is my larger concern as then I need to make sure the tensions are correct and such......

Not exactly the way MOST people want to see their bike.....

36mm for mine was about as dead on as you can get..... standard MIGHT have worked in the 1 7/16.....but was "sloppy"...and I worried about stripping the head.

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?

The cone is what they actually name the NUT that attatches to the axle.....I am going by the termanology listed in the Service Manual, secion 2-11.

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!!)

well, if that be the case, I could think of a worse thing to do with my time after I retire out of the military!!!! 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......

Oh SH*T! You're right Chuck, but in my defense I HAVE been working 7 days a week. 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.
