91 Low Rider Inner primary removal
 

I have an inner primary on my 91 Lowrider which seems to be stuck. I removed to several bolts inside the primary and the two up front on the outside of the primary, took the starter off, removed the mainshaft bearing retainer clip (probably unnecessary). The primary is loose from the motor, but won't let go on the tranny end. Am I forgetting something? Perhaps there is a bolt on the back side of the primary. Maybe the bearing is a press fit on the mainshaft?:icon_smash:

There are bolts behind the inner primary I believe....certainly were on an ex-police FXR I did last year.

Thanks for the reply,man
The only thing I can find on the back is the starter nuts, which came off with the starter. Can you remember where the bolts might be? It is kinda dark and hard to see back there even with a flashlight.

Take a block of wood or something and bump that inner primary. There shouldn't be anything holding it if you have all the front bolts out.

Ex Police ones have 2 bolts at the bottom, in line with the sporcket....don't think the others have them.

I found it. It was underneath just in front of the rear chain sprocket. It seems to serve no purpose, but it did anchor a grounding strap for the electrical system. I have taken a lot of primaries off and this is a first.

There should be 5 bolts with locking adjusters shown in picture and 2 long screws holding the starter from the right side of the bike
This pic is from last season when I was showing a friend how to replace the main drive belt. Even if the bolts are all removed its still a sucker to get off! Tap it with a block of wood!

FXR inner primary stuck
 

1985 FXRC inner primary is stuck. All bolts are out, tranny shaft is a little rough. Bearing race seems to be seized onto the tranny shift. Have been trying to tap it of (probably harder than I should be) and it won't budge. Have used PB blaster and heated and still no luck. Any suggestions?

There's a bolt on the back side that has to be removed. Don't pry or pound on a inner primary cover unless you intend on breaking it.

Help!!!
