Hello, what actual specialty tools are needed for removing the inner primary to replace IPB, seals and shift shaft seals?? Developed a small leak at IPB are and figure to tear it down, replace IPB and related seals.
Reading the manual it looks like a heap but but I know some of you have done it with minimal specialty tools.
I just did all my seals on the inner primary on my 2006 Street Glide. If you are interested in pulling the race I would sell you the tool pretty cheap. My race had walked up the shaft and I had to grind it off so the tool never even got used. I would strongly recommend you replace with a one piece bearing ( I used the Jims). Ironically my worst leak was around the stator plug.
Georges Garage has the tool needed to remove and install the inner primary bearing and seal, costs a little under $100. That and the bearing race remover and installer and primary drive locking bar are pretty much the special tools you need. You can use an impact to remove the compensator and clutch nuts if you don't want to use the locking bar, remember the clutch one has reverse threads, or it should. Be prepared for certain members to start freaking out when you mention "impact" as they will holler that the stator will self destruct when using an impact. It won't but they will tell you it will. Check the service manual to be sure on the clutch nut thread, I know '07 and up are reverse threaded. The whole clutch and compensator assembly with chain will come off as a unit. A set of long shank allen ball end sockets will help with the starter bolts. Take a look at your set up to make sure they are allen, again they are on '07 and up.
If your shifter shaft seal is not leaking and is perfectly dry, I would not mess with it.
