Ken ,a impact wrench does also work easy for removing the nut from the drive pulley.
Hold the pulley with one hand and use the other with the impact wrench and It's of in couple seconds.
Your tools do work perfect for installing and tightening the nut to the correct torque |

Impact would not even touch mine. Used the most powerful one available and would not budge. Also impacts can cause damage to the trans |

I had to impact my pulley nuts on my s1 and s2 for about a minute before they came off. The pulley holder shouldn’t allow the pulley to move if it’s against the frame, and the bike should be in neutral. Everyone always says an impact could cause trans damage but i think using heat on the nut could heat the shaft and damage the seals. Just my opinion. I’ve just used a good impact and haven’t had any ill effects. |

Impact tools can knock the magnets off the rotor. |

In use impacts all the time on both sides and have never had a magnet fall off. And I have done many. |

My impact of choice is the new Snap-on Lithium battery 1/2 drive. Puts my "Earthquake" that I used for many years to shame and no air hoses to worry about. |

I've used an electric impact on the engine sprocket, clutch hub, and trans sprocket since small Milwaukee v-twins had iron heads. Never a problem.
To the OP: I want to see a picture of a broken transmission main shaft. |

Ever make any progress on this?
I finally put my primary back together over the weekend and realized I was wrong. I kept thinking that even if your transmission was broken, the lock bar between the gears would still keep the clutch from spinning, letting you remove the but. I went to put mine on, put the lock bar in, and of course it started spinning. The bar only locks the outside of the clutch, but the center will spin all day.
Did you ever get yours out? What you need is someone who can weld a couple steel and fiber clutch plates together(or maybe you can just buy a tool shaped like that, I know I've seen them for mx bikes so I'm sure someone makes one for a sportster clutch), or you could drill a few and bolt them together. That'll hold both parts of the clutch together, which will let you remove that nut using a primary locking bar.
Either way, let us know what's going on with it! |

^ That's a good idea. |
