This is really hard to put into words. Pay attention to the order of things. Start by adjustint the clutch with no thought to what is forward of it. The angle of that throwout arm is important. Make sure it is adjusted to start from a far enough back position. Now, adjust the mousetrap according to the instructions, either mine or the service manual. I use a few different descriptions, but I'm really mimicking the service manual. Remember, just an eighth of an inch over center on the bellcrank. Adjust it until it stays in position. Loosen that nut on the bottom until that bellcrank returns on its own. If it doesn't go right, take a rest, go back to it and start at the beginning again. Don't forget to leave slack at the hand lever unti the mousetrap is cooperating. I have faith. You'll get it.

Glad it found you. Go to our KZbin homepage. Just go to KZbin. Type in Pacific Mike. When the Knucklehead motor with yellow tank comes up, just click on it. Then click on the word "videos." 340 videos will come up.

Thanks again!

Glad to help

Thank you very much!

Thank You.

Most people use compressed air with the caliper wrapped in a rag then lowered into an empty garbage can. Under pressure, the pistons can be very dangerous.

@pacificmike9501 Awesome. Thanks for your reply. BTW, it's a Warner Lockheed rear master cylinder. I ended up using (because I refused to take it off the bike since the manual said it wasn't necessary to rebuild it) a circlip plier to get inside the piston to pull it out and then a makeshift hook with a paperclip to snag the rubberized washer at the far end. Ugh, it was a day! Thanks for the reply and all the help!

Thank you, I think.

Thank You.

I try to show it all on the channel. Maybe the clutch has a little oil on it. Maybe your trans has a problem in it's ratchet lid. Like, maybe the springs.

@@pacificmike9501 Thanks, It's been an ongoing problem with a couple of clutches. I went to the ratchet lid for one of the first fixes I did back in the 90s I even sprung for the orig. HD tool to set up the lid to the trans. Part of why I went with a belt drive too. Just thought if maybe you ran across this problem before. Thanks, Mark

You just have to go through and inspect things until you find it.

Greetings. And Thank You.

Thanks for watching

Thank You.

Flat side out.

We'll do it when it comes up. You're describing a 49-early 77 front end. Unless the sliders are worn out, it's no big deal. Try looking in a year appropriate, Harley Davidson, service manual.

Don't know what model you have, but you can run a little tighter. Set at the tightest part of the chain. Make sure you check for tight spots. You may need a new chain.

Thank You.

And all those good things for you and your family.

Thanks 👍

I didn't even think about it. You're probably right.

Thanks for coming

I think over 340 videos.

Much appreciated!

Our pleasure!

I understand. I bought my 77 FLH new in 1978. We're still in love.

Crazy is just a miner characteristic.

It's closed end and I think Snap-On calls it a "torque adapter." I use aftermarket head bolts on my Shovelhead that have a 7/16, 12 point head.

Everyone's hands are a little different. You gotta use what works for you.

@@pacificmike9501 you are correct

can i hire you to do a top end ?

Sorry. I am retired. Occasionally, I help out one of the neighbors, like Bill's 65 here. But, I try not to.

Thank You, Jack. We try.

Our pleasure!

Our pleasure!

Gotta finish this 65. But, on the 52, I replaced the pushrod seals and replaced the generator gasket. Everything looks pretty okay. I'll change the oil and make sure it's returning to the tank, which I think it is, and it will be done. Maybe do a couple other things to her. Is your friends bike leaking, or is it wetsumped and coming out of the breather?

His , is a 55 pan I will get more info on it Many thanks for your quick reply Great story on the bike

Thank You. 55 had some great improvements. Better intake manifold and 0-ring ports on the heads, and Timken bearings on the left side.

Welcome back! And, thank you. Maybe see you at Born Free.

Thanks for watching.

Yes. I've run one in my Shovelhead for years. I don't know what your bike is, but, on Shovelheads, you need to trim one leg of the tensioner assembly to make it sit straight (the floor of the inner primary on Shovelheads is not parallel to the ground).

@pacificmike9501 My 68 Electra-Glide is the bike I'm thinking about trying the Hayden in.

Easy job. I really like them.

Thank You and, Amen.

They are great old clutches. They just require occasional maintenance

Thank You.

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you enjoyed it

You would probably get a kick out this. I've been reading your creations aloud. Probably a good thing I live alone. But, we'll see. Stay dry.

Ah; if your dogs start stuffing cheese in their ears, please tell them I understand : )

You bet

I don't know what to say here.

Thank You.

77XLCR 1 up 3 down. Custom sainlessi less exhaust. Shftpttererned reversed😊

I had one for a couple days once. It was great. Extremely low mileage. I got to know what a new 77XLCR was like.

Sounds good to me.
