compensator torqueing????

[CustomRigid]

Ive just replaced my main shaft bearing and seal. Now Im at the point of retorqueing the compensator and I need help on a good way to stop the motor from turning while I torque it.

Put in in 5th and have someone hold the back brake while you torque it.

Thanks Redfish, I guess I didnt think that all the way through.

Put something (I use an old primary tensioner shoe) between the primary chain and the clutch basket sprocket. Torque to spec. (I think about 150 ft-lbs.). Never use an impact gun. Don't forget the red Locktite.
