I used the Red Loctite on every mating surface. Glued it all together, not just the nut threads. Try it! Yeah I was just reading your thread about it. I think I will, Might use the 680 retaining compound instead though. Mine has no washer on it so I was thinking I should order one, but were the early ones sent out with no washer or was it lost over the years? Saw where they use a conical washer now, so should I upgrade?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1003135 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7727 Re:Front Drive Pulley Nut Maint. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I think the easy answer is get the one currently in Yami's stock as the one that goes there. Since I glued mine all up about a year, and some thousands of miles, back... I'm DEFINITELY going to pull the cover this spring, and check on it once again. I do hope that all is still well!   Logged     Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1003149 Jaybo (User) Here, hold my beer... Gold Boarder Posts: 980 Re:Front Drive Pulley Nut Maint. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Is it the O ring (#23) that would cause weeping? The inside of the cover area is all greasy/grimy and there was oil film on the pulley shaft. The oil seal (#22) looks fine. My other question is what is the correct part # for the 33 tooth pulley? Thinking I might just replace the current 33 tooth for a new one to hopefully tighten it up more.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004223 Jaybo (User) Here, hold my beer... Gold Boarder Posts: 980 Re:Front Drive Pulley Nut Maint. 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   So I bought some Loctite 680 Retaining compound on the pulley and shaft put it all back together with a new lock washer and torqued it all down to a perfect torque reading of 3 long blasts of the impact gun. I let it sit and its now very tight with no play. I will take a look after I put a few miles on and see if it stays tight Questcap wrote: Mine was worn, and had some play, too.

Didn't that cause some type of damage to the shaft that it bolts onto. Either cracks it, or causes it to break later on down the road.   Logged     owning a motorcycles not a matter of life or death, its much more important than that   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004235 Jaybo (User) Here, hold my beer...

No. As long as you didn't strip the threads or crack the nut.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1004242 cike (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3234 Re:Front Drive Pulley Nut Maint. 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   didn't mean to worry you, just seemed like I remember people having problems with the impact wrench.. better to find out now than while out on the road.
