You will need a special DEEEEPPPP sockets to remove the sprocket nut, an 1-1/2%26quot; impact socket to remove the compensator nut and an 1-1/4 socket to remove the clutch hub nut.
You NEED a....FACTORY.... service manual to get the torque specs and special procedures needed to reinstall the rubber swingarm isolators and PROPER clutch/cable, primary chain adjustments, belt tension, axle alignment %26amp; torque...etc.
EDIT:....I got busy earlier and neglected to mention this....Front pulley removal is NOT REQUIRED for a belt change...BUT...as a PRECAUTION....I ALWAYS replace ALL seals on the primary and trans including the sprocket spacer quad seal o-ring, while the primary is removed....it would really suck to develop a leak a few months from now and have to pull the primary off again to replace the seals......All fresh seals is cheap insurance.How do you change the belt on a 2006 Road King?The clutch pack,primary and inner primary cover have to come off to get to the pulley.You should really get a service manual so you don't mess things up.You really need torque specs(very important!) for tightening everything back down.For sure you'll need torque wrenches in both foot and inch pounds.A belt tension guage is handy too to set the proper play in the new belt.How do you change the belt on a 2006 Road King?remove the clutch ( left hand threads ), compensator ( right hand threads ), and inner primary and you'll have access to the front pulley to put your belt on. Upon reassembly, you'll need torque specs and in the case of your primary bolt, a torque procedure that if you don't follow, will lead to your engine sounding like it's got a rod knock due to loss of clamp load and if not taken care of, will lead to internal damage. The money you're saving by doing this yourself go buy a manual and you'll still be ahead of what a dealership will charge and all your questions will be answered. Oh, and spend the money on a factory HD manual for your bike. The aftermarket manuals are junk.
Edit: No need to remove the front pulley for belt replacement. Also, take care to not bend, crease, or tweak the belt too much as it CAN damage the belt internally.How do you change the belt on a 2006 Road King?Just to add my 2 cents worth, I recently did this.
The engine comp sprocket nut is torqued to about 180 ft/lbs of torque, with red Loctite!
You'll probably need an impact wrench to hammer it off.
Also, disconnect the negative battery terminal, and unbolt the starter motor from the backside.
It LOOKS like it's bolted to the transmission, but the bolts pass through, and thread into the inner primary cover.How do you change the belt on a 2006 Road King?you put it on.
