It made taking the rocker box bolts out a breeze.
First time I used it was on a friends '92 bagger.
No lowering the front mount or anything it was easy as hell.

You want some fun take the rocker boxes off the rear jug of a softail.
Now that is an annoying pain in the ***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If the 4 pushrods are removed, the single cam removed and breather gear removed do you need to remove lifter blocks to install new lifters?
or
Can you insert new lifters from below and use the U-shaped magnets to hold lifters UP while re-inserting original cam and a new breather gear?
To be clear: The original factory cam will be re-inserted.
This is a M & M fuel injected bike with zero leaks in excellent condition.
Many folks have changed cams, lifters and pushrods on EVO bikes but very few post about experience with an M & M fuel injected bikes.

 

Yes it shouldn't be an issue I've done many cam changes that way.. did you pull your rockers?

 

While I haven't done it that way I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

 

Service not performed yet.
Going to order parts.
I like to study process well before starting a project.
For know it looks like i may order/use:
S & S quicki pushrods
Johnson lifters (standard)
James Gasket cam install gasket kit
S & S cycle Torrington #138 bearing
New stock plastic Harley breather gear
Review and re-use the factory CAM and thrust washer.
Reason for this service is to replace the stock factory caged bearing..i keep reading it is a weak link.
I would prefer to not remove lifter blocks so that alignment of lifter blocks stays factory so i guess i need some magnets or wire to hold lifters.
Sucks to spend the money for a bearing but do not want to risk damage.
Adjustable pushrods should make future service in that area easier.
Basically trying to make it so i do not have to service area for another 50,000 miles.

 

If ur going this far , I would definitely put an ev13 in .No regrets here.

 

Parts ordered.
Down side of CAM replacement would be that bike is an M & M fuel injected bike.
Limited information available in regards to fuel maps.

 

I tried doing that but the lifters can’t be removed from the inside. The pinion shaft is in the way. The tappet blocks have to come out.

 

IM, you're almost always the answer- man for the m&m questions. Makes it odd to refer this out, haha. My friend Jasper86, on this forum, has a set of the upgraded injectors. His bike was bought used with the stage 2 kit already installed but then he went nuts and to a Wood W8H.... there went the fuelie.

 

Thank you for information.
Always good to ask.
I will have the gaskets anyway so i can remove blocks.
I will get some bolts for alignment if needed.
