Brad, as a fellow mechanic (30 plus years aircraft, motorcycles and cars) you are very thorough, and you really clean things well before you reassemble. If I needed my Harley worked on, you would be my man!! Thanks for the video, I learned a lot, keep them coming!

You explain things perfectly and show torque. Direct to the point. Well done.

[@mbraun777]

I just finished this job using your video on my '01 Road King. I got to admit, it did take me considerably longer than your 1 hour 17 minute video. This procedure video was one of the best I have ever seen, ever. I went step by step with you all the way to the end. Came out perfect. First, I'd like to thank you for doing such a complete job, with all the torque specs and advice. Secondly, I'd like say I truly hope you continue making tutorial videos like this one, for other involved yet typical maintenance jobs on stock bikes. You truly are The Wizard.

[@HarleyDavidsonWizard]

Your welcome. Glad it successfully for you.

Great step-by-step video. I just finished this job yesterday thanks to your video. When I went to remove the main shaft and compensator nuts, they were a little stubborn. I purposely reversed the impact wrench for a few seconds to tighten each nut, then reversed it again and the nuts spun right off. Thanks again for the video. My 1999 Road King Classic has been dripping for years!

Entertaining.. I wasn't even interested in learning this (nor would I try it) but I was so impressed with the care you took and the thorough cleaning that my OCD self couldn't stop watching!! Liked & subscribed! Cheers!✌️😎

[@k5edd128]

Smiling! 2000 ultra classic, stater went out. I had to use a 1/2 inch breaker bar and a 5 ft cheater bar to break the compensator nut loose. Factory had put a 1 inch strip of red Loctite from one end to the other of that nut. Pain to clean it out as you would Imagine. Replaced that stator 4 times in 80,000 miles last time with the 3 phase system. and it's still working. For a young guy your pretty dog gone good. 60 + years of riding and do most of my own work and I am impressed Sir.

I just want to say I just completed this trask and with your technique seem like everything went well. I rode it around my street, and no leaks .I followed your instructions to the teeth, torque and cleaned threads , I did noticed a chain nosie as soon I started but went away in like 4 seconds , scared me for a second , I did go with a inner primary sealed bearing kit . TIP to clean out the comp and clutch bold I used a drill and a wire brush similar to a baby bottle cleaning brush worked like a charm

Take it to a dealer and you will never get this kind of attention to detail. A mechanic being this meticulous would be told by the supervisor to just "Get on with it already, just do what you have to do to get it out the door!" Fortunately, I have located a local Harley mechanic who is that meticulous and opened up his own one man shop. Great work, great video, and great dedication to excellence!

Brad, I always used a plumbers pipe wire brush (for copper pipe interior cleaning) to get the loktite out of the compensator nut and clutch hub nut. Worked very well.

Great video glad I found your channel… just picked up my bike for the exact work done and can’t figure out how! But my primary sounded horrible, o we merry says that’s just your clutch. I say never sounded like that before.. rode home 18 miles!! And pulled primary myself to inspect what was going on. And some how jack bolt came out of starter shaft with locking tabs bent in place. ?????? Called shop and he says what? So anyway loved your video just hard to find loyal and thorough mechanics.. thanks for sharing..

[@justinphillips5702]

Nice job but, I would get rid of the main shaft race and, install a HT bearing eliminating the race and, potential race walk towards the transmission causing the race to be pressed against the bearing and seal, if it gets that far it is a PITA to remove but, nice job all together 👍

[@HarleyDavidsonWizard]

I haven't had good experiences with the HT bearing. Personally, I prefer the OE race setup. Thanks for the comment.

[@suzannecallies9123]

have just watched your video very through. Have a question what type of oil you use on the seal before installation. Will be installing the main shaft seal in the next couple days. Would like to use the proper oil for installation. Enjoy watching your videos! I know its been awhile since you posted this video. Thank you

[@HarleyDavidsonWizard]

I just use normal 20w50 engine oil. The idea is to keep the seal wet to aid in installation and have oil on it until the normal primary/trans oil gets to it.

[@CNSTAdventures]

Man you answered every question I had in great detail. Although I do all of our vehicles repairs or maintenance this is my first time being this deep into my 06 Streetglide . Or any bike for that matter , There’s one thing I wish I would’ve had a better understanding of and even though I heard you and every one else all say it I never would’ve thought inside of the walls where the shift shaft seal and basically any other aluminum walls where seals go are so easy to gouge, scratch and damage ! And the shaft teeth too! I managed to get it all done with a small knick back of shift seal cavity . Not where the seal sits so I should be good but it got me wondering what if someone did make a small Knick where it sits . Is that fixable? Or is whole case shot?

[@HarleyDavidsonWizard]

It depends on how bad the nick is. If the nick in the aluminum isn't that deap, then I can file it out and blend it into the bore, and it'll be OK. If it's a super terrable gouge the the only thing that can be done is put the new seal in & pack the gouge with JB weld stick. Ive only had to do it once on a case a customer damaged, but it worked out great. Obviously the customer would have to sigh off on it. But it's a last resort before a new case.

[@jamiewroten92]

Jesus. I was debating on doing this myself until I saw all the tools needed.

[@marksullivan4180]

First off. Great video! For removal of jack shaft oil seal you use a 5/8 socket. I have an 03 TC88. 5/8 is too big. What would be the correct size? Also. It looks like someone used a green adhesive to hold the old one in? Should I apply heat or some kind of solvent before? Thanks.

[@HarleyDavidsonWizard]

Maybe the outside diameter of your 5/8 socket is larger than mine, just use the largest socket that'll fit through the primary bore. As for the green material... so the original oil seal harley davidson used had the green type of sealant on it. It was manufactured allready applied to the seal. If your using a new rubber seal like the one I'm using in the video, no green stuff or sealer is necessary as the new seal is updated and has rubber as the sealer.

[@marksullivan4180]

@@HarleyDavidsonWizard My bad. What I thought was part of the case was indeed the metal part of the seal. Once I figured that out, the 5/8 worked and it came right out. Thanks a bunch. Now I can watch the rest of the video and get this thing back together.

[@JacobAHull-nx6rx]

Brad, I have a 1990 fxrs-sp and the torque specs for the Sprocket nut are 110-120 ft lbs? Would it be best to use the mothed you used with the torque you used than the 45°? Also my compensating nut is 150-165 ft lbs.. seems like alot. But i see that is also what you used. How did you lock up the bike to get the nuts torque without everything moving. Put in gear? Break on? I have a plastic wedge. Would that be OK to use? Great tutorial..so helpful..thank you!

[@HarleyDavidsonWizard]

Use the torque specs that apply for your year. To keep the transmission still to torque the sprocket. The bike is just 5th gear. Then, when I do the primary. I have a plastic wedge that fits between the chain and sprockets.

[@1pizzo77]

Drilled the hole and screwed in the metal screw for the shifter seal, then went and checked on a slide hammer. All the slide hammer tools around here are 5 lbs and fine threaded. Took a pair of channel locks around the screw of the vice grips and popped the channel locks back to get the seal off.
