How do you install the engine primary sprocket on a 1983 sportster?

You have to assemble the engine sprocket, primary chain and clutch basket together, then put the whole thing on as one unit. The sprocket goes over the engine shaft at the same time the clutch drum goes on to its shaft.
Then you tighten both the clutch hub nut and the engine shaft nut up to 150ft lbs.
To dig this far into a Sportster engine, you need to have a good workshop manual and a factory parts book.
