2009 FLHX Cam cover removal quick ?
I do have the service manual but not with me. I had my cam cover changed along with other stuff and I believe the had to take off the headpipe to do it. I called the person who did the work and they "dont recall" taking it off. I looked at the bike and I don't see how you could do it without removing it. I am not looking to battle them if I don't have to.

Thats what I said and they got testy. Which kind of pissed me off. I paid $700 for them to do forks, cam, primary and my 1000mile service. I told them up front I was ****. Now I have a decel pop and a slight klunk noise in the front end. Now I know there was a minor noise to begin with but this is more pronounce. I could reinvent the wheel and take everything apart again but I did pay them. I will see what happens tomorrow when I bring it by.

I just replaced all of the OE zinc plated allen bolts on the cam cover with chrome ones. I replaced them because a) I wanted to and b) I happen to have the front header pipe off for another upgrade. I can't imagine how anyone could replace the cam cover bolts much less replace the cam cover without removing the front head pipe.

im not. I don't think that could be read into my post but if you did i appologize. I had the cover changed and now have an exhaust leak. I would fix it myself but I already paid them to do to the work on the cover change. They should fix it but they dent taking the headpipe off.

I had an indy do the work. They are highly regarded in my area and they are in the same building as my good friends body shop.
