Default 1951 Panhead crank seal

How can you get snap ring out that holds crank seal in place on a 1951 Panhead ?

Not sure if you're in the correct area yet. Got you back to the top.. can you attach a picture?

Be sure to make your next new post over in the new member area.. Just in case.

Welcome from North Beach, FL., USA!

Just in case you have not done this and I recommend this only as a suggestion....

Add a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike year, model, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with.
Others will see it at the bottom which
enables them to know your exact model if you ever ask a question.
All Harleys are not the same and year and all the model letters make a big difference.


Also, add an Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER setup for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post.

It's also very helpful to read the 'HDF Site Rules' listed at the top of the new member area.

No biggie. I assume since this started in new member area, a mod moved you here by mistake.

My error. Not familiar with pans. Which area would you say is the best and I will tow it over there.

I kind of thought this may not be the right place so I came back here to check.
