They are not to tough to replace. You have to remove the push rods and tubes. I always put mine on TDC before I mess with the push rods.
The tubes come apart pretty easy. There is a spring loaded portion of the tube in about the center that needs to be pushed down and the lock slipped out. Then you need to back off the push rods. and pop them out.
Reassemble with the new seals... adjust the valves and away you go....\
What years the bike ? Later years took o-rings not square ones just so you know . Just follow the procedure in the manual , I've replaced them in a gas station parking lot before on a road trip so it isn't bad .
82 fxwg,,youve given me lotsa tips now twizted,,and evryone has been successful
Thanks man , just try to pass on what works is all and you may have the o-rings . Those had the quad seal little square one if I remember right but don't hold me to that . And bear with me man my memory is getting shorter than my pecker .
