What is the issue? Did you take the entire primary apart or just the outer cover?

Hey, you might want to try youtube. It's unreal how helpful some of the videos are in there. There are a bunch of HD specific ones. I was watching some yesterday about my primary repair. Great info BEFORE you get going...Hopefully, we finish mine tonight. Good luck.

If your going to be doing anymore maintenance yourself you may want to get the service manual, that way you have the torques for the clutch nut and the compensator nut. Cover bolt tqs inner and outer.

But if you be more specific with what part your stuck on many here can help.
