I made a locking tool believe it or not out of a piece of wood. Traced the clutch bolt pattern, drilled holes in the wood, bolted the wood which I made long enough to lock on the ground which allowed me to remove the comp bolt. Worked great.

Once you get the HD manual, you'll see that it's not a very difficult project. The correct tools will make it much easier.

Have you thought about a chrome inner primary cover? If you buy one, it comes with the bearing and seal installed. All you'd need ot buy then is the inner race. Just a thought in case money isn't an issue and you like chrome.

One other thing to check I have an 01 RK also and thought my inner primary was leaking I changed the seals put it back together still had a leak turned out the leak was coming from the stator wire hole A little sylicone problem solved sure wish I had looked a little closer before I tore it apart....
