Kick Start Install Question
I bought a kick start kit for my 74 FLH and began tearing it down last night. We'll, didn't take long to come to my first problem. how do I get the nut off the mainshaft? every time I put a wrench to it and turn, the mainshaft turns with it. is that because the bike is in neutral?
also, there are no instructions whatsoever with this kit. anyone know of a link or anything where there might be some instructions? I do have a service manual and the diagram is pretty good but it really doesn't go into much detail. I'm basically doing this by the diagram alone.
Thanx,
Pete

bend the loc tab back first -- and if your taking the gear off your gonna need a special puller --
also where those 2 threaded holes are is a bump stop for the kick gear --
get the kicker that swings in and not the one that stays in 1 position --

yes, I know to bend the tab back. I did read about a special harley puller but don't have it. is there a way to do it without it?
