Removing Clutch Plates
I want to remove the clutch plates because mine is fried. I do have a manual but it is at home right now. Since all i want out is the Clutch plates can this be done with just removing the adjuster nut and snap ring. Is there a simple way to remove just the clutch plates without removing what the manual wants me to do.....Its a 2005 Ultra classic

I would follow the manual. Plus don't forget to soak any new plates in primary oil overnight before you install them.

Yes sir your are correct. I called today and asked 2 different Indys what was the cost to fix my clutch. 1 said $250 and the other said $350. On the way home I was going to take it too the $250 Indy. I thought about what everyone says, " do it yourself learn your bike". Well I do machine mechanical work everyday and I am a electrician, I think to myself go ahead it cannot be that hard. Gees it was easy and I really enjoyed it. It was a peice of cake!!! Oh and I took pictures along the way (just in case lol ).Now that I have the clutch in my hand, I need to find the parts to replace, Steel plates and (fiber plates), I forget how many of each but I think it was 8 & 9 of each. Anyways any suggestions..... Oh do I need to put locktite back on the primary sprocket nut and if so what type is it I should buy? Also I did have to heat the Primary Sprocket nut to break it loose..... Anybody done this latley and know a ballpark price of the plates... Oh and thank you for the encouragement on doing it myself even though I`m not half way complete I feel Great knowing I have New Knowledge.... Mike

Use blue loctite. Torque to spec and your manual should show an exploded view of the plates. Not rocket science...just take your time.

Ok I did not know about soaking the plates. I am wondering Why do you do that? I use mobil one syn oil in my primary. Is that what I need to soak them in and you only talking about the Steel plates.
