Swapped the bearings...

[Mackinback]

My sled is a 04' RX-Warrior w/ a Simmons CPR turbo system on it and about 1,400 miles. I decided to replace the Jackshaft and Speedo bearings after reading up on some general maintenance. After some work I got them out and new ones put in.. Everything is back together except this last odd nut off the Jackshaft (I get the 2 mixed up.. It's on the upper drive shaft, clutch side). I think we barely got it off using an Ohlms wrench, but want to make sure it gets tightened down.. I've heard Ohlms wrenches is the way.. But can someone specify which one?

I think I just used the shock adjustment wrench. Place the wrench on the notched nut and use the secondary clutch turning the jackshaft clockwise to tighten the nut, with the sled on a jack stand.

Hey thrasher - checked the wrench, but the diameter aren't the same. I've got an AR12 buffer tube wrench that looks close.
If anybody else knows something that does work, please let me know.

Thanks

You just need something to stop that ring from turning. A slip joint wrench may work. Might be a two person job now. I think I used an aftermarket shock adjustment wrench that I had purchased for something else.
