This guy makes it look a lot easier than it was for me. I guess it's easier if you do as maintenance in stead of waiting for your check valve to start leaking. It was not easy for me because my O-rings were practically disintegrated so it was a lot tougher to get the old rings out. I eventually got it done, thanks.

How much money was that tool. And many people could use the o-ring size information.

Nice video dude. To think I almost paid Harley $800 to do this along with an inspection and replace the front brake switch.

This tool was a huge help. I did feel that the 2nd hook for tool B wasn't as long as what is shown in the video, but it finally did the trick. Getting the smaller o-ring into the tool correctly to put the check valve components back in took a bit of doing, but once I figured that out, it went easily. Thanks for the video, couldn't have figured it out otherwise.

Thank you for the demonstration great job on everything . Very well detailed

The kit worked great for the upper ring, spring and check valve. The bottom ring was not so easy, following the video I cut the o ring on my first try, luckily I bought two set so I had another bottom o ring. The second time I just used the plunger to set the o ring, but had to use a small wire to pull a small part of the o ring into the groove, it kept getting pushed above the seat area, wasn't hard to do and once down in the groove, worked great, no leakes.

Do you need to drain the tank or just the fuel line to the check valve?

Not to knock your video but I have done lots of these and a 15 year old o-ring that has failed is hard as a rock and can't be removed that easily. I always resort to dental picks removing the old o-rings piece by little piece. You must be using new o-rings for demo purposes. Installers must make sure that all pieces of the old o-rings are removed, even the smallest fragment will prevent the new o-rings from inserting properly. The o-ring insertion tool works flawlessly, the extraction tool not so much. This job can be a pain but its still a hell of a sight easier then replacing the check valve assembly.

In a previous comment I made. I noticed some leakage once the final connection was made. In the video it does not say anything about putting o-ring lubricant on the o-rings before inserting them. I recommend doing this, which may be the cause of fuel still leaking by after the final connection.

But it worked as advertised. My Loring was really hard and it took a number of tries with the tool and I finally had to finish it off with a regular seal pic. Upper o-ring came right out.

I bought the check Valve rebuild kit and it work fine instead of removing the seat, drian gas tank and take out the electric fuel pump to disconnect the fuel line with the check valve.

The old o rings came out in pieces but after a few tries he got it. He didn't use the guide installing the 1st o ring. If I did this more often & without fuel in the tank I could get it.

Looks simple enough, when I call the dealer they tell me they just replace everything from top down. Seems extreme just to replace an o ring.

I think you don't but push the little button in on the check valve to see if gas flows out without stopping. I believe the pump has to pump fuel out. The check valve only releases the pressure when you push the button. You have to drain it to remove the whole thing from the tank and replace the hose. That's what I believe about the check valve.

Decided to buy a new check valve today from Harley, it was 52 dollars and with the new seal for top of tank it came to 83 dollars, decided to change the fuel filter while I had it out and it was 88 dollars, the guy at Harley said be very careful getting the system out, you bend something and it's going to cost 480 for a new arm plus all the other seals. I pulled it out and also found the mesh filter for the fuel pump was falling apart and can't be replaced you must buy a fuel pump 246 dollars. So with my new check valve, fuel pump, filter and tank seal with new screws I'm in it for about 500 bucks doing it myself, (not a mechanic, KZread everything) If bike is newer, I would absolutely buy this tool but at the recommended 25000 mile fuel filter change I would go the total replacement because had I just done the o ring I was headed for a fuel system plug and tow with my luck somewhere in the mountains where I love to ride. I will possibly add this tool to my arsenal at some point .

No you do not need to drain the tank. There will only be a very small amount of fuel that will drain out. This fuel comes from the fuel line that runs inside the tank connecting the check valve to the fuel pump. Since the fuel pump is inside the tank it prevents fuel from passing through it and draining the tank while the bike is off.

ok, in follow up, and from experience now, if anyone is reading this, it is possible to pull the rings out using a dental pic. not too ard BUT its much easier to pull the unit out of the gas tank, which means draining your tank first but at least you can turn the check valve over and see what the fuck you are doing rather than trying to work upside down with a flashlight and a mirror. After replacing the rings, they held for a day then started to leak again so I ended up buying a new check valve, not too expensive but wish I would have done this in the first place. Buy a check valve, drain your tank. You have to remove the gas lines from the pump... take your console off, open the gas tank inspection plate, remove the gas lines from the pump. Unscrew your old check valve, screw in your new check valve. hook your gas lines back up, close the inspection plate, put you councol back on, put gas back in, go for a ride.

Big tip make sure you have all of the old oring out even a tiny piece will stop the new one from sliding in again took 15 mins total pulling tank and doing it with tank upside down....

I visited fuel tool web site and didn't find the tool but found kits for the harley , the only thing is ...They don't show what kit fits what. I don't think this fits a 2000 Road King Magneti marelli with two check values . Just more Harley junk!

I think you're turning counter clockwise not clock wise.

He did not insert the tool in all the way like the instructions say; which leads me to believe he just put the o-rings in there loosely as a demo of what to do. Also assuming the gas tank was empty because when I did mine, it dumped 5 gallons of gas all over my garage floor. At that point, I just removed the entire check valve assembly from the tank to make the rebuild easier. The tool was unsuccessful at removing the 1st o-ring completely and the WD-40 I sprayed in there at the beginning of my process just left the remaining bit to just rotate in it's seat with no way to remove it. The paper clip wouldn't do the trick. Wasted $ on the tool, wasted time, wasted gas, funkified my garage, ruined my shoes. This should have been a recall in my opinion. My FLHR has less than 10k miles on it. I'm seeing complete check-valves for sale online for around $34. Lesson learned.

My 09 FLHR lower oring was leaking, John Deer part #??????? O ring found it on an HD forum site..

An uneeded expensive gimmick that is NOT required to do the job, Order MC300 and use a motorcycyle lift so its easier to access. A seal pick and manual dexterity are all that is needed.

spending over $100 to replace two 3 cent o-rings is CRAZY! I would understand if you were a shop and had to do these repairs all the time but not likely. A shop will just replace the part and charge parts and labor according to rate. draining and removing a tank is not all that hard to replace a NEW part for half the price. Or for under $10 you can buy a crapload of both o-rings and with a $10 pick set you can do the work but it will take you slightly longer then this tool set allows. but again you don't have to drain the tank and the total job would take less than 30 minutes for a complete novice.

Why not just replace the entire check valve assembly?

You can buy a new genuine H-D check valve assembly for 50 bucks. No special tools required. But the rebuild kit that includes the two viton (important) o-rings, stainless spring and plated valve is worth the 13 bucks. Just use caution when using o-ring picks to not damage the glands. Most importantly, use viton o-rings (normally dark orange in color), not EPDM or Buna-N materials. If you do you will have a greater leak than you do now. The custom tool kit is a good deal if you work on bikes for a living, but, once or twice in a life time is not economically sound.

is not that simple. At the other end is a rugged plastic tube that is connected to the fuel pump. You have to disconnect this tube from the fuel pump in order to be able to twist the check valve or you will twist the tube and possible brake it.

I don't understand this. Why you wouldn't just replace the whole assembly is beyond me. How often are people disconnecting their fuel line to wear this out? By the time you need this, you probably need the fuel line inside replaced anyway. Plus, this looks like a real PITA to do. I'll pass thanks.

A lot of people don't pull the fuel pump fuse, start the bike until it stalls & turn the starter a few times to de- pressurize the fuel line before disconnecting the fuel line from quick release coupler. This is what usually causes the leaks on perfectly good O rings & valves. I know because I messed up mine by not reading my manuel.

that's nuts.... who comes up with convoluted shite like that? --stupid inventions like that should be illegal, at least stay clear of..
