This has been the best Thorough video if seen on this primary
Yeah except the entirety of removing the starter from the inner primary
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
As a mechanic of thirty years, I am *impressed* by the professionalism of this video I stumbled upon! Kudos, sir.
Jeffrey Miller that rod he pulls out at 7:24 I pushed that in by accident and can't pull it out is that a problem? I I don't have plies that can get in there and grab it what should I do?
use a magnet may be
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.
@@cayuga2832 sorry, missed this for A YEAR.
I wasn't even necessarily searching for the information in your video. But once I started watching, the video was so informative and visually instructive I couldn't stop watching .I hope to give my bike the same level of work and care . thanks for the video.
Thank you for the best, most comprehensive and complete video for shifter shaft seal replacement.
I will be using the service manual along with this video to repair mine.
Please do a video on the cam tensioner replacement when the time comes. This is THE best how to video I've ever seen, thank you very much!
Best how to video ive ever seen. So calm, gave sizes, torque specs, and great instructions!!! Thank you!!
Giving torque specs & size of wrenches is priceless. Great job Pal !
If you updgrade to a SE comp you will need a torque wrench that goes to at least 200 lbs, 180 is the torque requirement
Excellent video, your step by step instructions and explanations is far better then most of the professional maintenance videos. Thank you for sharing
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.
This is the best video I've seen concerning the removal/installation of the primary assembly. Thank you for making this!
Glad it was helpful!
At 9:20 ... Epic.. You sure you're not Thor or Zeus? As you tense up to undo the nut, thunder sounds to mark your struggle... That's my favorite part of the video.
Hi. Here in East Yorkshire in the UK I have a 2005 Road King Classic with same mileage and the same problem. Thanks for a clear and comprehensive go-to. Much obliged to you and many thanks from an old biker. Regards D.W.
Compensator Nut use 13/16 1/2 drive socket with a 30" breaker bar. Came off pretty easy. When removing chain tensioner there are some spacers be careful not to lose them. Just some little details that may help. Great video!
You did this job BETTER than any other person could have.
this video is very informative i was able to adjust my clutch cable woth no issues now its time for me to reseal my primary and because of this video i will be able to and save myself about 800 in shop and labor costs plus the 100 just to get it in the shop. well done sir well done...
Exactly what I have on my 2010 Ultra. But I have rounded the cap head Allen.
I just need space in the garage to have a go at this job.
I was thinking about a chrome inner and was nervous about pulling it apart thinking i needed special tools getting my self all worked up, now i am going to pull the trigger and do it. Great video
This has got to be one off the best tutorials I've watched and I've watched a ton.
My bike needed the belt replaced and i was Just about to give up on doing it myself till I found your video...u saved me bout 250-300 bucks...awesome video.. Step by step..excellent!!
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!!
Just watched about 20 different videos and this one looks to be the most complete for this job. About to do it on a 2005 FLHRSI with 22k on it. Thank you for sharing this video.
It's a 9-year-old video, and it's still one of the best out there.
Although I would go ahead and upgrade the compensator and tensioner
I upgraded with the SE comp and it is way thicker than the original.
Thankyou for making this video. My 2011 has the same shifter problem, and I just got the Harley oil seal kit that the dealer makes for the DIYers. So this video explains a lot of the questions I had on where stuff goes, and my main concern on socket size for the clutch basket
Superb video. Your words are just right and understandable. Your focus is crisp and right where it needs to be.
That has to be one of the best tutorials I had the pleasure of watching. Thank you!!!
I have the same slack on mine and I’m confident in doing the repair myself. Thx again!!!
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
One of the best Harley repair videos I've ever watched. Great job!!
Great tutorial video 👍👍👍👍👍 All I was looking for was how to change the primary gasket and I learned waaaay more than what I was looking for and that's never a bad thing. You're a great teacher and you explain everything very well, short and to the point. Subscribed and looking forward to referring to your videos for future repairs.
Not many videos showing this type of work so thanks you very much. Good Job , I like how you work!
The only thing is never un-torque using a torque wrench.
This was such a good straight forward video, great job and thank you!
Great video very clear and precise description excellent camera views, I would like to see you do the drive belt replacement, again great video thanks for posting
Great video! You did a great job of explaining the process.
This video walked me through the whole process of replacing my drive belt this video was absolutely amazing left nothing out,saved me probably $800 in labor!!!!!
I believe this is the best Harley mechanical video I've seen, and there have been many. Thanks you very much and please keep them coming !!!
Awsome video! Very clear and precise as far as I know. Thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate how it's done
Thanks so much for the video. My shifter shaft seal is leaking on my '14 Limited, so I plan on following your excellent, detailed video.
Starting my journey this evening. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great video thanks for taking the time to film, i have to replace my sloppy transmission shift lever and this tutorial was priceless 👍👍
I have been saving this video for the day to finally tackle my transmission shift lever repair. Well, that day finally came thanks to being home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though not exactly the same bike (2014 Ultra Limited), your video helped me tremendously with many of the steps along the way. Thank you so much for the effort you put into making this video. Awesome job! Thanks!
This is one excellent tutorial. Very well done in every aspect. Maybe best online complicated tutorial I've seen yet. Thanks Guy.
Outsatnding video thanks for sharing the information, hope you continue to post others in the future!!
OUTSTANDING! Great job for the folks that have the ability to do the work. Good details and explanations are awesome.
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.
I also replace the transmission linkage, and lever. Along with the seal as well.
Thank you one of the best video’s that shows and explains everything. I appreciated
Have to say this is a great video.
So helpful! Helped me install my forward controls on my 2015 street Bob and reassured me that I understood the manual correctly. Only difference was my compensator was the screaming eagle version with the T70 Torx bit.
Great video,I have the same problem with my 2005 Road King. I thought I could do the job myself,now I know I can after watching your video.Thanks for taking the time to do it.
Awesome video your teaching comes naturally thanks for posting
Smooth Job!
Good info, step by step how to.
This is what I have to do this Monday but mine is the stator and stator nut.
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.
Your guess was close... Yes I am an engineer, but EE rather than ME, and I am retired too. But it seems all engineers suffer from the same obsession about getting the technical details correct .
Awesome job and DYI instructions! Thanks brother!!👍✌
Great information, I will remove my primary cover in the next few days. I will use this info along with my manual to change out a clutch spring as well to check the various seals and gaskets while I'm in there. Thanks !!!!
I feel a whole lot more confident after seeing this video. very nice video thank you
I’m going to have to do this (and more) to change my final drive belt on my 14’ street glide.
It has a small melt spot on it from my exhaust header cross pipe from my air ride when I ride with it fully maxed out.
Figured it out little too late.
I should get the rest of this season out of it.
But this winter I have to dig in.
Sucks-
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.
Clear, concise, and professional !
You have no idea how bad I needed this, I can't thank you enough!
Very well done!!! I prefer videos without swearing. It just, in my opinion, takes away from the video. I was thinking to myself now would be a good time to look at the belt drive if it needed it. Very well done. Also, a third hand would come in handy in certain spots of that process.
Swearing?? I don't remember any swearing, but I will admit it's possible.
@@dldavis3 You didn't. I just finished watching a guy do a clutch job and every other word was an F bomb. I should have made myself more clear. Sorry. Great video. I've always been intimidated doing my own work and thanks to videos like yours I'm finding it's not that bad. Thanks again, and sorry for the misunderstanding on my part.
Wow...Awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!! cleanest and most effective job, ive ever seen!!!!!!!
NOT a drop of oil anywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Very good!
Great video👊🏻 Thank you, I’m using your step by step to fix my clutch issue👊🏻
Very nice and very detailed video..👌👌
Super bon tutoriel, great job. Now i'm not afraid to open mine just for fun! Thanks
Thanks for sharing. I'm new to Harleys, great instructional video. Top job to.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm getting ready to do the same job and he has a very good video the best I've seen so far
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 😁
Thanks for the video. After watching I think I will tackle my Baker transmission adjustment eccentric bolt and shifter forks if needed. A+
Best video yet on this. procedure. Thanks.... !!!!!
Outstanding video! Great narration and mechanical stepitude.......
I wouldnt mind knowing a few of the part numbers for the seals , snap rings and the inner 5 bolts (primary to engine/trans).
You make it look so easy for a guy who likes to fix things till they break (me).
Much thanks for the upload.
nice job on the video. wonder if you put the new seal in the freezer if it would slip in easier?
Awesome............you sir , are a gentleman and a scholar.Your video was most helpful and very professional . thank You so much
Excellent video!! The bike should be on gear, neutral or does not matter??
Thanks for a clear and well explained video. Gave me the confidence to jump on mine today. Gotter done 😎
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.
Please add a video of a drive belt r and r when the time comes, you did a great video, thanks
Hi there great video thankyou!, that said at 17.20mins Im pretty sure you have put the oil seal in the wrong way round .Usually the open spring face should contact the oil?.
I think the same
great video I need to replace the seal on my 07 Electra Glide. I replaced the shifter seal on my Goldwing that was a lot less involved than the Harley. but the Harley looks simple enough to do just a little more involved. Definitely will do it myself I don't trust shop. thanks for putting out this video.
great video lets you get a good look at what your in for
Great informative video! Very good job.
Seems to be a pretty common problem on Harleys these days. Do yourself a favor and look into the Baker Attitude Adjuster, or the Hayden Auto Tensioner, those new tensioners that Harley is building, (like the one you are using), are taking out the main drive gear in the transmission, followed by the sprocket side engine bearing. I am in Canada and the bikes I've seen this happen too, are usually at the 80,000km on the speedo when it happens (50,000 miles in US terms) this is caused by the inability of the tensioner to back off, as you saw when you took it apart. You may notice a wierd wear pattern on your drive belt, as one of the signs that it is starting to fail. Hope I saved you some money. Richard @ G&R
Lawnboy From Hell , mind did just what you said, about 3 year ago Hayden units were back ordered so put in screaming eagle manual adjuster, yes I have to open it up every oil change and check The chain tension. Looking into a baker attitude or a Hayden Don’t know which one to go with
Did you also replace the shift shaft lever? Harley tells me it is softer material then the shaft by design to wear before the shaft does and good idea to replace when this far in access.
Thanks for making this video!!! I just replaced my rear shift lever with great success! Because my bike is a 2000 Road King, a few things were different. But I got through it! Now for the Power upgrades! Lol!
Ha I thought you added that thunder effect right as you loosened the clutch bolt as a herculean effort! Perfectly timed - didn't know it was an actual storm rolling in lol
Ha! I was Just lucky on the thunder timing.
Nice video, i have an 06 Ultra w/ the same problem. This will be my winter project. I'm assuming all clutch play must be released prior to this and is the bike in gear or not also what about the starter gear teeth does it self align? Thanks Glen
his knee is the star of the show
very annoying how he perfectluy blocks what hes working on, needs a cameraman
Excellent video!
Maybe I missed part of the clip but what is exactly the reason to that the shifter is loose before repair but not after? Do I see a new & thicker whasher inside the retaining clip?
hi, is your shifter shaft seal holding up? I've replaced mine once and it didn't hold up...to much shaft side play...I'm going in tranny to do new shifter lever pawl and sleeve...have you had to do it yet?
thanks jim
Very nice video, well done and informative!
Excellent Video. It will come in handy for my thank you
Very good job! thanks a lot.
Excellent video. Very detailed. Thanks.
great vid. very clear and good filming. tks
Thanks for taking the time to do this video, good knowledge A+
i really enjoy this video , i learned alot and i thank you for the information you provided to help me do this repair ,myself on my bike !
That's good to hear. Enjoy the ride!
Excellent job dude!
Maybe a stupid question (not an MC mech.) When replacing the primary cover gasket, is there a reason not to add a little liquid gasket when reinstalling? Seems as if it may prevent future leaks.
Excellent video!!! Very well done!
Gracias por este video amigo no tenia ni idea como hacerle. Tengo una 2005 touring que apenas compre y se rompió esa palanca.. Mil gracias y muy buen mecanico muy limpio.
When I pulled the clutch adjuster out, the black rod was too far in to get out. Why was yours easy to get to?
