pulling the cam bearing is a bastard

pulling the cam bearing is a bastard if you dont have the correct puller .. the **** of it is the bearing is $10 and the puller $85 .. If you f%&k up you will damage the bearing and it will fall apart and then its a real hard job to file, chesel, tap, wack, pull that dam thing out of there without destroying the block .

Ya know, I was wondering how many of y'all have acquired the tools and would be into doing a trade program. Maybe kick up $5 towards overall cost to the person. Sort of a rental fee.

We're all upstanding guys here. How many times you gonna change cams in your life?? Don't answer that.

I talked to Zippers about this a few weeks ago. They said no need to change maps. Clear all your learned offsets and go ride, the Tmax will take care of the rest.

I just ordered the Andrews 37's for $228.90 shipped. I'll put them in myself, I know how to wrench but I'm new to Harleys so I've been studying the threads here on cam changes and it really is a simple job.https://www.hdforums.com.au/Default....ics&forumid=24 Scotty does a good job of showing the install.
