Brad, as a fellow mechanic (30 plus years aircraft, motorcycles and cars) you are very thorough, and you really clean things well before you reassemble. If I needed my Harley worked on, you would be my man!! Thanks for the video, I learned a lot, keep them coming!
I just finished this job using your video on my '01 Road King. I got to admit, it did take me considerably longer than your 1 hour 17 minute video. This procedure video was one of the best I have ever seen, ever. I went step by step with you all the way to the end. Came out perfect. First, I'd like to thank you for doing such a complete job, with all the torque specs and advice. Secondly, I'd like say I truly hope you continue making tutorial videos like this one, for other involved yet typical maintenance jobs on stock bikes. You truly are The Wizard.
Brad, thanks for making these videos! They are the most detailed ones I think on UA-cam. 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!
BRAD, That was the most concise explanation on how to...complete the job.i do my own work by watching these videos..and am a proud owner of a 1994 FWDWG .THANK You my freind...
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
Awesome tutorial! Best I have seen on this job. I have a 99 Classic that I have to accomplish very soon. Thank you for making this available to us non professional mechanics!
I followed this video and was able to do this job on a 1995 heritage. Would not have tackled the job without it. My local harley dealer had all the parts in stock.
Brad, You are my kind perfectionist, I watched your video from start to end, I hope our children and the next generation will be blessed with people like you, thanks for an enjoyable time.
my only complaint is that "twin cam" in the title, kept me from finding this earlier, it's just about identical to my Evo '95 FLHTC. Tools and techniques I wish I had known earlier! Thank you thank you thank you!
Entertaining.. I wasn't even interested in learning this (nor would I try it) but I was so impressed with the care you took and the thorough cleaning that my OCD self couldn't stop watching!! Liked & subscribed! Cheers!✌️😎
Brad, you are the man! Finally someone with the attention to detail like myself that I can follow but a wealth of knowledge of this machine I do not have. Thank you!
@@wellaitsaniice3307 I'm sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant you did not have the machine as in bike. Road Kings are nice. I have an Ultra Limited but almost got a Road King myself.
All I can say is thank you because I got to tell you this is the best video to watch for this procedure the guys to the point he laid out the tools ahead of time you can't lose by watching this one I got my whole bike apart and back together and I'm not a mechanic so this was the ultimate tutorial thank you again
Thanks for the video! Had one of the Allen bolts back out of my drive belt pulley cover plate and dig into the inner primary. Your video saved my hundreds of dollars. Great help!
Nice job but, I would get rid of the main shaft race and, install a HT bearing eliminating the race and, potential race walk towards the transmission causing the race to be pressed against the bearing and seal, if it gets that far it is a PITA to remove but, nice job all together 👍
Hi Brad...Nice work brother!!! Im an Ironhorse (Slammer) owner. Love the efficiency and professionalism you bestow in your videos. The lack of background noise with clean voice overs is also a nice touch. Cheers
Thank you so much for this very detailed and educational video. I am in the process of doing the same job my self, I almost missed the shifter seal if it was not because of this video I would probably have missed it. Also special thanks for the tips on how to install the seals using ordinary sockets. Thanks again, I hope my thumbs ups helps you as much as you have helped me!
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!
Thank you finally found a good video my bikes been sitting for 3 months. Watched it all took notes soon i should have my bike running thanks brother blessing to you
Brad .... so happy your back to making videos.. always impressed with your style of mechanics ... your honest and true descriptions of repairs and/or installs. keep them coming .. Cheers Andy
Good job brother I can do my primary with my eyes closed, that being said it would take me forever and now watching how you did it takes no time at all 🤘🤘🤘🤘
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.
Just watching all the parts seals and points of failure in the primary really makes me reconsider ever going with the Harley brand. Great and informative video
Great videos. I use heat shrink tubing on splined shafts to apply seals. Lightly shrink it and leave some foreskin so you can pull it off. (plus it's reusable)
You are an excellent technician. Very thorough and careful with your work which is very admirable. I'd let you work on my Harley any day of the week except Sunday. I ride on Sundays.
Excellent video!! I like the fact that you are a stickler for detail, it pays off to be that way. I have learned that the hard way working on automatic transmissions. Thanks for all your videos.
Great, detailed video again, and great content. So meticulous and detailed at how you perform the work. Would be great if all mechanics operated this way!
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.
GREAT Video! Sorry I found it a little late. I will defiantly return BEFORE I work on my bike again. I agree with all the impressive comments. KEEP them coming THANKS
I uploaded the Gasket and Seals 🦭 Part numbers for everyone 1994-2006 so you don’t have to chase down part numbers thanks for the helpful video brad very informative
this vid, like all your vids--- are worth every second. When I work on my bike nowadays, I say to myself "I'm doing this Brad's way" - thanks for doing these vids.
Wow!! Wish you were in my area! I would not have a second thought of any work performed by you on my Bike!!!! Attention to detail is spot on!! Great video glad I found your channel… just picked up my bike for the exact work done and can’t figure out how! But my primary sounded horrible, o we merry says that’s just your clutch. I say never sounded like that before.. rode home 18 miles!! And pulled primary myself to inspect what was going on. And some how jack bolt came out of starter shaft with locking tabs bent in place. ?????? Called shop and he says what? So anyway loved your video just hard to find loyal and thorough mechanics.. thanks for sharing..
Hey! Thank you so much for this vid. I just completed this, and when I fire the bike, the starter is just making a noise, but not engaging. The jackshaft was difficult to engage, when installing the nut seemed to free spin, and I had to really compress the assembly to get the threads to catch.
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.
Hey brad,glad your back..best 1hr18 spent.well worth it..the way you did thid vid is perfect..very detailed,calm and no shop noises only your comments..keep up the good work man.
Excellent video of the Barnett Scorpion assembly..Alot of good "extra"information.. Two thumbs up my man.. My first of your videos.. I'll keep watching !!
Hello Brad thanks to this fabulous Video i used this to repair my 2005 Touring, without Your help i didńt Get it Thanks a lot Greetings From Germany Stefan
Good video as always bro. I believe I have a leaky crank shaft seal in my 01 E. G. Put some dye in my oil and she's lighting up! 52,000 miles on her!! So I may as well do them all & probably the final Drive belt also!! Damn old Harley's, if I could just hit the lotto!!!😊🙏
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.
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! "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.....😎"
Yay!!!...A wizard video! The last 2 bikes I've owned that were 5 speeds, I did the Trans shaft race delete and put in a complete bearing in the inner primary. Awesome video!
One of the best videos ever, very professional.Love HD bikes and i am ready to buy Electra glide 2001 from a friend watching also your videos to fix it by myself, first time driving&fixing HD in my life.
Thanks Brad, Well done. On the List for my 09 FXD this winter. Good to see you back! Was thinking about you the other day....and BAM!! Love your style! Hope your BACK to Shooting more AWESOME Content.
i did notice on some six speed harley transmission the shifter pawls do have some play in them, i think thats why those seals develope leak, cuz the only thing ive noticed holding the shift shaft stable is just a bushing and those bushing wear out. my 2015 streetbob has shifter pawl play and it only has 7,600 miles. i learned from you how to change the seal and the shaft bushing.
Espero y me entiendas.gracias por tu video lo disfrute mucho y aprendí mucho más .muy bien explicado .te mando un gran saludo desde México distrito federal y una vez más gracias espero y sigas asiendo muchos más videos así de bien esplicados .
This is a very awesome video one of the best I have seen you cover a lot of things thank you very much I am now a subscriber this has helped redo my son's 2002 FLHT
I took notes and I’m goin to tackle my inner primary seal I’m not goin full on seal replacement on the gearshift seal and transmission though I’m sure you would recommend it but. I’m goin to stick with if it ain’t broke don’t fix it theory. I’ve used every detail and note wrote down on your vid to accomplish this. No one has a vid on here like this one. I’m doing it on my 03 fxdx. Yours is the only one that comes close to what to do. Thanks. If you have any suggestions for me let me know bike has 14500 miles on it
Man you answered every question I had in great detail. Although I do all of our vehicles repairs or maintenance this is my first time being this deep into my 06 Streetglide . Or any bike for that matter , There’s one thing I wish I would’ve had a better understanding of and even though I heard you and every one else all say it I never would’ve thought inside of the walls where the shift shaft seal and basically any other aluminum walls where seals go are so easy to gouge, scratch and damage ! And the shaft teeth too! I managed to get it all done with a small knick back of shift seal cavity . Not where the seal sits so I should be good but it got me wondering what if someone did make a small Knick where it sits . Is that fixable? Or is whole case shot?
It depends on how bad the nick is. If the nick in the aluminum isn't that deap, then I can file it out and blend it into the bore, and it'll be OK. If it's a super terrable gouge the the only thing that can be done is put the new seal in & pack the gouge with JB weld stick. Ive only had to do it once on a case a customer damaged, but it worked out great. Obviously the customer would have to sigh off on it. But it's a last resort before a new case.
I stripped my inner primary to trans case bolt hole while torquing to spec. What would you recommend to fix this issue? Heli-coil or time-sert? Any help is appreciated.
First off. Great video! For removal of jack shaft oil seal you use a 5/8 socket. I have an 03 TC88. 5/8 is too big. What would be the correct size? Also. It looks like someone used a green adhesive to hold the old one in? Should I apply heat or some kind of solvent before? Thanks.
Maybe the outside diameter of your 5/8 socket is larger than mine, just use the largest socket that'll fit through the primary bore. As for the green material... so the original oil seal harley davidson used had the green type of sealant on it. It was manufactured allready applied to the seal. If your using a new rubber seal like the one I'm using in the video, no green stuff or sealer is necessary as the new seal is updated and has rubber as the sealer.
@@HarleyDavidsonWizard My bad. What I thought was part of the case was indeed the metal part of the seal. Once I figured that out, the 5/8 worked and it came right out. Thanks a bunch. Now I can watch the rest of the video and get this thing back together.
Hi Brad. I am following your video for inner primary seal replacement. What would be the reason for my mainshaft not turning freely by hand. Thanks for your help. Peter
Brad, I have a 1990 fxrs-sp and the torque specs for the Sprocket nut are 110-120 ft lbs? Would it be best to use the mothed you used with the torque you used than the 45°? Also my compensating nut is 150-165 ft lbs.. seems like alot. But i see that is also what you used. How did you lock up the bike to get the nuts torque without everything moving. Put in gear? Break on? I have a plastic wedge. Would that be OK to use? Great tutorial..so helpful..thank you!
Use the torque specs that apply for your year. To keep the transmission still to torque the sprocket. The bike is just 5th gear. Then, when I do the primary. I have a plastic wedge that fits between the chain and sprockets.
Brad, thank you for sharing. I have to replace the main shaft seal on my Road Glide. I know the primary is a little different, but is the rest of the procedure similar to M8 models? Thank you in advance.
Brad, as a fellow mechanic (30 plus years aircraft, motorcycles and cars) you are very thorough, and you really clean things well before you reassemble. If I needed my Harley worked on, you would be my man!! Thanks for the video, I learned a lot, keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!

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.
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! "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.....😎"
Thanks
Great stuff Brad. Your videos are super informative. Thanks for posting
just found you Brad! 40+ H D guy, wrencin all the way. GOOD JOB1
Yay!!!...A wizard video! The last 2 bikes I've owned that were 5 speeds, I did the Trans shaft race delete and put in a complete bearing in the inner primary. Awesome video!
One of the best videos ever, very professional.Love HD bikes and i am ready to buy Electra glide 2001 from a friend watching also your videos to fix it by myself, first time driving&fixing HD in my life.
Thanks for the complement! Do it! Get that bike and enjoy the ride and enjoy work. 👍
Love the videos AND the narration!!
Keep them coming.
Thanks. Will do.
Thanks Brad, Well done. On the List for my 09 FXD this winter. Good to see you back! Was thinking about you the other day....and BAM!!
Love your style! Hope your BACK to Shooting more AWESOME Content.
Thanks!.
Brad, great to see a new video! Awesome work on the scoot and video!
i did notice on some six speed harley transmission the shifter pawls do have some play in them, i think thats why those seals develope leak, cuz the only thing ive noticed holding the shift shaft stable is just a bushing and those bushing wear out. my 2015 streetbob has shifter pawl play and it only has 7,600 miles. i learned from you how to change the seal and the shaft bushing.
Good job!! I can see you take pride in your work.
Thanks.

Thank you so much. I got the seal in, based on your comments
Brad, miss your vids. Please make a video on rebuilding Harley/Showa inverted forks. Lots of these forks out there on low riders and sport glides.
Hello Brad hope you are doing well we miss your videos best regards Alan from the UK.
Thanks, you too!
This is a very awesome video one of the best I have seen you cover a lot of things thank you very much I am now a subscriber this has helped redo my son's 2002 FLHT
Thanks👍
Jim's makes a really nice main shaft seal driver.
I took notes and I’m goin to tackle my inner primary seal I’m not goin full on seal replacement on the gearshift seal and transmission though I’m sure you would recommend it but. I’m goin to stick with if it ain’t broke don’t fix it theory. I’ve used every detail and note wrote down on your vid to accomplish this. No one has a vid on here like this one. I’m doing it on my 03 fxdx. Yours is the only one that comes close to what to do. Thanks. If you have any suggestions for me let me know bike has 14500 miles on it
Go slow and take your time. It be just like in the video.
Jesus. I was debating on doing this myself until I saw all the tools needed.
Great video of breakdown and install bro!! Appreciate it!!
Appreciate it!
excellent video. i have an 04 softail and this was very helpful. thanks for the tips
Man you answered every question I had in great detail.
Although I do all of our vehicles repairs or maintenance this is my first time being this deep into my 06 Streetglide . Or any bike for that matter ,
There’s one thing I wish I would’ve had a better understanding of and even though I heard you and every one else all say it I never would’ve thought inside of the walls where the shift shaft seal and basically any other aluminum walls where seals go are so easy to gouge, scratch and damage ! And the shaft teeth too! I managed to get it all done with a small knick back of shift seal cavity . Not where the seal sits so I should be good but it got me wondering what if someone did make a small Knick where it sits .
Is that fixable? Or is whole case shot?
It depends on how bad the nick is. If the nick in the aluminum isn't that deap, then I can file it out and blend it into the bore, and it'll be OK. If it's a super terrable gouge the the only thing that can be done is put the new seal in & pack the gouge with JB weld stick. Ive only had to do it once on a case a customer damaged, but it worked out great. Obviously the customer would have to sigh off on it. But it's a last resort before a new case.
Good video and job! That’s why you get paid Big Bucks
Very glad to see you back my good friend regards Alan and Ella. PS You gotta love harleys check out my garage better than the old shed.
I stripped my inner primary to trans case bolt hole while torquing to spec.
What would you recommend to fix this issue? Heli-coil or time-sert?
Any help is appreciated.
I prefer time serts but a coil would work just fine as well.
First off. Great video!
For removal of jack shaft oil seal you use a 5/8 socket. I have an 03 TC88. 5/8 is too big. What would be the correct size?
Also. It looks like someone used a green adhesive to hold the old one in? Should I apply heat or some kind of solvent before? Thanks.
Maybe the outside diameter of your 5/8 socket is larger than mine, just use the largest socket that'll fit through the primary bore. As for the green material... so the original oil seal harley davidson used had the green type of sealant on it. It was manufactured allready applied to the seal. If your using a new rubber seal like the one I'm using in the video, no green stuff or sealer is necessary as the new seal is updated and has rubber as the sealer.
@@HarleyDavidsonWizard
My bad. What I thought was part of the case was indeed the metal part of the seal. Once I figured that out, the 5/8 worked and it came right out.
Thanks a bunch. Now I can watch the rest of the video and get this thing back together.
Hi Brad. I am following your video for inner primary seal replacement. What would be the reason for my mainshaft not turning freely by hand.
Thanks for your help.
Peter
Great to see you back. Was just mentioning you to the GF. Great video as always!
Thanks!
I am so glad your back.Welcome back my friend.Missed you dude.Great video.
Thanks thanks thanks!
Planning on doing this , and this video is on point with information
Thanks
Brad,
I have a 1990 fxrs-sp and the torque specs for the Sprocket nut are 110-120 ft lbs? Would it be best to use the mothed you used with the torque you used than the 45°? Also my compensating nut is 150-165 ft lbs.. seems like alot. But i see that is also what you used. How did you lock up the bike to get the nuts torque without everything moving. Put in gear? Break on? I have a plastic wedge. Would that be OK to use? Great tutorial..so helpful..thank you!
Use the torque specs that apply for your year. To keep the transmission still to torque the sprocket. The bike is just 5th gear. Then, when I do the primary. I have a plastic wedge that fits between the chain and sprockets.
Brad, thank you for sharing. I have to replace the main shaft seal on my Road Glide. I know the primary is a little different, but is the rest of the procedure similar to M8 models?
Thank you in advance.
M8s are very similar. & special tools are slightly different sizes.
Great! Thank you for the information, Brad! And thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with the rest of us. It is much appreciated.
Brad just wanted to thank you for such a great video
Thanks. Your welcome.
