Removing the Mainshaft Transmission Oil Deflector (P/N 36300026)

Can anyone tell me what I have to do to get at the slinger on my 2019 107 M8 ? Im thinking I will have to loosen the pipes and take the cover off, disconnect hyd clutch and remove the second cover and drain the fluid. Then remove the slinger and put it back together in reverse. Will I need to bleed the clutch also ?

Yes I just bought it last week. I was going to change all the fluids when I found I had nothing on the dip stick in the tranny. I had heard about the fluid transfer problem but thought it was only in the first two years of the M8. I put in the breather for the primary today but the other side looks like more trouble. I haven't dealt with a hyd clutch in a harley before.

My `19 Electra Glide Standard had the oil transfer issue, the dealer installed the vent, it cured the transfer.
A few months later I changed the clutch slave cylinder (installed a Muller), and I noticed the deflector had not been removed, so I took the cover off and removed the slinger.
Unless the oil transfer issue still exists after installing the vent, I wouldn`t go in there until it is time to flush and bleed the clutch fluid.

I decided to go ahead and remove the slinger. It takes more time than doing the primary side but no costs. Just lost a little trans fluid but that's it. My build date is 3/2019 and it was there. I also cut back the cover so I will be able to bleed the clutch easily. Not I just have to put some miles on it and hope the problem is gone. I will post a update after 1k miles.
