I have a 2004 Dyna Wide Glide with 34000 and I am thinking about doing the tensioner upgrade myself. I was going to purchase screaming eagle kit with the screaming eagle adjustable pushrod kit and I was wondering what else I am going to need special tools etc... I am also not sure how to properly install the bearings for the cams into the new screaming eagle plate. I was wanting to use my stock cams and I guess ill need new bearings also????
You will need new bearings for the camplate, and a way to press them in. Local shops dont charge much to press bearings. And while you're at it, you should replace the inner cam bearings as well. To do this properly you'll need a specialty tool like in the link below.
not trying to turn you away from the screamin eagle kit, but when I did this I went with the complete kit from Feuilng parts. Comes with bearings, loctite, assembly lube, all the seals and gaskets...its nice to have everything you need in one part number, instead of piecing everything together.
Here's the kit I used,

Just checked the tensioners today and they to look pretty good for 34,000 miles? Ill probably just hold off on upgrade. I dont really ride this bike alot anymore. I mostly ride my street glide.

Those can break apart tomorrow; I kid you not. There's a blue million things in this world I don't know, but this ain't one of them.
