Default 2011 FLHTK Mainshaft Oil Seal Leak

Yesterday it was the Starter. Got that working. Leave for work at 3AM this morning and I start to smell oil burning. Couldn't see anything at that time of the morning. Went to leave work and oil all under the bike. Got it home, put on lift and put oil in primary. Started the engine (starts real nice now!) and oil pours out of the back of the primary behind the pulley which is behind the clutch end of the primary. I need to get this done ASAP for a Trip so I need to know what size sockets do I need (I know I don't have the one's I need) Also should I replace anything else while I have the primary open and apart.

Bike has 45K miles on it.

Turns out I had a bad seal on the Starter that I replaced yesterday. New Seal and all is good. That's where the oil was leaking from, just above the mainshaft. So false alarm. But I will be tackling this in the future sooner or later so give me some ideas and I'll start buying the parts. I have the inner and outer primary seal kits already.

Thanks,
Ben
