You might want to check the main shaft bearing as usually that goes and causes the seal to leak. Had it happen on two different bikes. Same thing on both. Thus if you only replace the seal it will start to leak again in a bit.

I have a stator leak and will be in the same general area as you.

I found an excellent video on YouTube.

I'm not smart enough to get the link, but if you search on "harley primary" and look for a video called "HD Ultra Classic Primary Removal and Installation" by "dldavis".

I found it very informative and hopefully you will as well.
