Default inner primary sealing bolts

What's the trick for removing the 5 sealing bolts from inner primary cover? Feels like they're gonna break.

When I did my 30T mod I don't remember any issues loosening those up. Are you applying way more torque than what they are spec'ed at?

HD SM has 26-28 ft-lbs listed, should not require too much force. Are you have problems with one or all of them?

Someone probably locktited them in there.

Use some heat and vice-grips and hopefully they will come out.

Good luck!

This usually happens when somebody puts a heap of silicon RTV gasket goo under at the back of the inner primary.....its retarded and unfortunately your are paying the price....or they used the wrong Loctite, sucks either way but once the primary is off they should come out with some heat.

Little bit of heat all out. Cams out, check. Inner primary off, check. Now waiting on cams, lifters, pushrods and 30 tooth sprocket. Should be next week.
