That is the reason it costs so much to get things worked on in a shop is: Labor is not just man hours, it is all those tools that you do not have. Have you heard of the snap on man? The SNAP on MAN. That goes to every shop? You know what works, it is cool. You do amazing thorough work. Keep it up.

Brad, thanks for making these videos! They are the most detailed ones I think on KZread. You saved me a lot of money and gave me the confidence to wrench on my bike! Thanks again. Keep the channel alive! Best I have seen by far! Thanks!

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!

@@jefferyepstein9210 yeah all good. Had to do the same work to mine. Broke a belt and had to replace seals.

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!

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

Thanks. Your welcome.

Very well done. Learned a few tricks that are worthwhile.. Couple minor things. 1. You don't show cleaning of the crank or mainshaft threads. I use a wire brush and cleaner. I do the same for cleaning the nuts as you. Hooked scribe. 2. Really the only places you need to add the ultrablack on the case is around the bolt holes where the bolts are inside the case. You missed the 2 front ones. Additionally on dynas and softails, there is one lower bolt that needs ultrablack on the threads. Stuff I do different. 1. I like to put the pulley on first then hang the U shaped puller on the shaft after getting close with the inner primary bearing race. 2. I use the old bolt on the shift arm but a little blue on the threads and grease under the head. The issue really isn't the screw backing out but keeping the arm tight on the shaft. The problem is that the arm splines on the arm need to bed into the shaft splines. the problem is that they aren't checked or tightened enough, which you mention. 3. I use a machined aluminum plate that fits over the main drive gear that is machined to set the seal depth then use the pulley socket to drive the seal in.. 4. I tend to reuse the old bolts and pulley nut if they are in good condition. Not say my way is better, just different. Good stuff I learned. 1. Really like the idea of using an impact for the needed 30-45 degrees instead of fighting with a breaker bar and pulley holder. . Again good video.

Thanks for the comment. Good information to chew on. I apreachate it.

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. Still use it on the clutch hub nut but have since mad a thread chaser out of a 7/8-14 x 3 bolt and dremeling the reliefs in it. Works even better. Keep up the videos, they are a good resource for people.

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.

Would never attempt...but it is fascinating watching you work on the bike. It is a very learning experience on how this part of the motorcycle works. Great video! "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.....😎"
