HELP, HELP, Cam 4 out!!!
My second post and I sure wasn't thinking it would be about this topic, either way I feel sick to my stomach and I'm loosing sleep over this. The story goes like this, I bought a sportster 883 2006 two weeks ago and was running great, smooth, no problems but I decided to change a few things and powder coat some covers so as I get to the cam cover, front right side, I did not read and did not know that the cover was holding the cams. When pulling the cover out, cam number 4 came out, all other cams are still in place and have not moved at all except turn or rotate when I rotated the rear wheel. My question now is how hard is it to put that one cam back in place, I do know you have to remove the top end, rocker covers and release pressure to have the push rod up and slip in the cam.......how difficult is that, I have worked on my crotch rockets but never too detailed and I consider myself mechanically inclined but I would like some feedback and know if anyone has good advice, the one positive advice I did receive was from my local dealer service guy which asked if I was mechanically inclined and if I had a manual because according to him it is more time consuming than anything else so before I start I would like to know if I have the manual would it be a not so difficult job,,,,,please help and sorry for the long paragraph or two by now...

Even though no one has replied I do have to thank the HDForum for having members post very detail procedures and being so helpful because without them and these forums I would have been lost.
