Well, I'm getting ready to replace my leaky shift shaft seal on my 05 FXDWGI.

I want to make sure I have everything I need before I tear it down.

Question to guys who have done it before:

What gaskets and seals do I need?
Special tools?
Anything else?
I'd like to order everything online...Any suggestions to where?

Thank you in advance...

 

You will need all the inner and outer primary gaskets, primary oil, a torque wrench that can torque left hand thread nuts (clutch) a primary locking tool (wedge) Loctite and depending on mileage I would do the innner primary bearing and seals while i was in there.

Give your drive belt a good check over too and replace if its full of holes.

 

Thanks for the info. It's got 15k or so on the clock.

 

Inner Primary Bearing should be fine but change the seal anyway.

 

Should I try to make a wedge to lock the primary or am I better off buying the correct tool? Are there any other special tool you can think of that I'll need? I was an auto tech for about 25 years, so I should have everything I need besides special tools. Thanks again.

 

This goes to procedure...hold your mouth juuuust right! Good luck with it!

 

I'd watch out for torque wrenches that only torque right hand threads!!

 

Ya what HarleyCharlie said.

 

You will need a locking tool. Either the step wedge of delrin or the bar between the sprockets. Harley for some reason says not to use the step block but mine worked fine. (I had a big scrap of 2" thick commercial delrin but sold them all) You also need a big 3/4 pry bar to brake compensator nut. I use a big but cheap 3/4 Harbour freight impact) Need 200 lb torque wrench. While you are all apart you may want to drop rear wheel and push drive belt forward off front pulley and turn input shaft of transmission and shift up thru the gears to fill how all the bearing fill. Do not forget red permanent grade loctite and either correct primer or at least acetone or laquire thinner to clean threads for loctite. I alway break the nut and torque off jacks and stand with my son as the wrench man. Seen some good deals on ebay for lock tool. Guess material is OK. Autozone loans the 200 lb torque free in my area. Do not forget snap ring on inner primary if you need to replace bearing. Some people push it out to pop seal and do not see it.

 

Great info.....Thanks
