Thank you. Replacing my starter and the bolt didn't go in all the way, I realized this fell out and I came here to find the correct position. Thank you!

Exactly what I needed to see. Had a mechanic at Harley tell me that it looked like somebody installed this backwards on my bike. It sure helps to see it. Thank you very much. Subscribed

I changed my starter on my 02 Superglide a d the long bolt wouldn't grab the starter. I couldn't figure out why. I replaced it with the same exact starter. This video was perfect because it showed exactly what I did wrong. Thanks so much.

Do we need any grease when putting this coupler back on and how about on the primary side in grease on the I think it’s called pinion gear?

You're right and easy to overlook or as you say if it falls out you have no way to know which way is correct if you don't have the service manual. Wouldn't hurt to mark it ST and JA with permanent marker. I haven't taken the starter out of the 2002 Road King but have switched starters on my 1999 Evo, Fat Boy and it looks exactly the same as what you're showing. Great video, Thanks.

Taper end goes towards starter. Good point.
@billybutler1706 Жыл бұрын
how bout this? the coupler has a tapered end and the other end has an internal recess. The tapered end faces inboard, toward the starter, The recess faces outboard toward the jackshaft.

As I read the service manual I noticed what you’re mentioning. I just found it to be a clearer explanation to describe it as I did here… either way works. 👍🏼

So I’m trying to put it back on and I’m having problems putting it back on. Can someone point me out to a video I can use to put this part back on. I guess I’m not understanding. I know what end goes where but I just can’t get it to fit back on. Hopefully I’m making sense.

Why not say beveled on the outside goes in, like the manual.

You’re absolutely correct. I’ve read the manual too. Both ends have some bevel, taper, etc… one more than the other, but it can still get confusing. I’m simply offering more info to that orientation. 👍🏼
