Rear Axle Adjuster and Cover
Hello all.
I Just purchased the Rear Axle Adjuster and Cover Kit (43429-02) for my Deuce.
The direction states, that the Axle has to be removed, is this accurate?
It was seems to me, that I could installthe left side and then the right side, without removing the axle.
Thoughts??
BTW my exhaust system is already off.

RE: Rear Axle Adjuster and Cover
I'm not sure about how it works with the deuce, but with my '07 Softail Standard, the rear axle adjuster bolt had to come out.We didn't have to pull the entire axle. For the Standard, there are new bolts with the kit (which DO NOT fit between the axle and rear caliper). I had to re-use the factory bolts, instead of the shiny new chrome ones that came with the kit.

The adjuster boltwill come out with ease, but its the Castle Nut and the Axle Adjuster Collar that may give me trouble.
