    Amazing video! You made it look so easy I am having to play in my shift Rod as well I addressed it in the front but I'm going to have to do this process for the back I think I'm also going to do the starter at the same time so I'll have good access thank you so much for doing this

      tilt your bike on its kick stand and knock it with the adjustment screw you just pulled out from in front of it and it will bounce back and expose itself enough to grab it.

    Excellent Video!
    I happened upon your video, after watching another repair video. I almost skipped it but your concise step by step explanation caused me to watch until the end. I’ve torn apart and rebuilt many car engines but as simple as it may sound I always worry about messing something up on my FLHTC, so it goes to HD for the “1K repairs. “
    After watching your video I will look into the primary case next time I change the oil.
    Thank you for an excellent video sir
    Stay well and make more videos!

    Just what I needed to see. I always thought there would be a master link in the primary chain to remove and replace but, in afterthought, I’d never want to have a primary separate under power.... Thank you for posting- you’ve simplified my afternoon, and given me thought to chroming my inner primary, and upgrading my alternator at a later date.

    Nice how to video! Good Idea to change out that tensioner while right there. With regard to the darker yellow color of the plastic on the old tensioner (as compared to the new tensioner); that type plastic tends to start yellowing and turning brittle after being subjected to heat, stress, and oil over time....real nice job....took me back to my shop classroom days!!

    I just replaced the transmission main shaft bearing and (the bearing that's in the inner primary cover, just below where the starter mounts in the inner primary cover) inner race that's on the main shaft.
    That piece of Poplar worked perfect! I used a piece of pine that worked just great.

  • @PeterDad60
    @PeterDad60 9 лет назад

    I'm pretty sure by your naturalness in explaining, along with your complete grasp of the process involved in the work to be done, that you are a mechanical engineer. I was one too until I retired.
    When H-D said to first torque to 100 ft. lbs then back off one full turn, then re-torque up to 140 ft. lbs my guess is that when you initially torqued to 100 ft. lbs the threads on the bolt become just a little stretched and H-D understands that. They want you to do that. So then afterwards when you achieve the final required 140 ft. lbs specified torque it is a more accurate actual fitment to 140 ft. lbs.
    I just purchased my second new Harley-Davidson, a new 2015 FLHP Police bike. I have wanted one since age 6 way back in 1956. Dreams do come true. I still have my 1994 883 Sportster Deluxe and my 1976 T140V Triumph Bonneville 750. I did all the work on my Triumph myself and loved doing it. My Sportster never required any fixes or work other than changing the oil, lubing the cables and a new Halogen headlamp bulb. I still have these fine machines. That's why I purchased another Harley-Davidson.

    • @dldavis3

    I was right there, doing the same thing on an '01 ultra classic. Shift shaft seal issue too. I went farther. Pulled the belt sprocket (hey! I'm there, right?) Did the mainshaft seal, the "quad seal" and that "square" o-ring behind it.
    I did all that thinking "I'm there...do it" But I f'd up...should have gone 1 step further...all I had to do was pull a few more bolts & the top trans cover...adjust the shifter pawl. FRACK! I won't be back in there for 20+K. Oh well, just saying, if you're in there...do it!
    Oh, & I like my manual primary chain adjuster...replaceble shoes 😁

    I know that when I saw this video it was already a few years old; but I believe I have some bad news for you. At 17:57 when I got a good look at that new seal you inserted into the case I am pretty certain you inserted it back to front. You did not put the old and new seal side by side for a comparison nor did you show both sides of either seal; but before you removed the old seal it was flat side to the outside; and after the new seal was inserted you had it flat side to the inside. Further more it is normal with pretty much all automotive seals I have ever dealt with {which is many} the side which has that little shiny spring around the seal inner lip is always inserted into the oil side; which again would have left the flat side to the outside; which would also leave it in a position so the next person ever having to remove it would be able to place their spanner under that seal in the exact same manner as you did removing the old seal. Maybe no matter which way it is inserted you might be lucky enough to have it seal..... but as far as a correct and a incorrect way to fit it; you {I believe} have fitted it incorrectly back to front.

    Nice video thank you! What was the lubricant you used on the orings and gaskets?

      Thanks for you comment. I just use Syn3 or similar engine oil with fairly high viscosity. The idea is simply to allow enough tackiness to hold things in place as parts are mated, and allow a slight bit of adjustment to fully seat properly, but not so much as cause too much sliding around or over wetting the gasket.

    Very good job! You would have made a good Harley mechanic! I don't think they would have been that particular at the dealership! Kudos!
    I only question the use of red Loctite as I always assumed it was non-serviceable!
