Compensating sprocket removal

[Fxenewbie]

I've gotten everything off pretty much the primary but my compensating sprocket won't come off. I've watched a few videos and there's seemed to just pop off...any advice?

A) That's not a compensating sprocket, it's a motor pulley.

B) The two threaded holes allow the use of a harmonic balancer puller to remove that pulley. Use a penny over the end of the shaft to protect the center. If you damage the center, you will not be able to use that shaft when rebuilding the flywheels because you won't be able to true them.

It's just splines it should poop right off.............. Just like you did with the rear........... Put a little heat on it..........

Modern pennies are plated zinc. I use quarters instead. Put some anti-seize on the splines when you reinstall after scrubbing off any corrosion and ya won't have to fight it next time.

Plenty of copper pennies around. I keep some for just this use.

I gots to know, why is a copper penny better? Softer?

Stronger. In fact the zinc pennies are OK for the use, but copper is a better bearing surface for protecting shaft ends.
