The bushings will bottom out and be flush with the ends of the bore. Pretty cool tool! Thank you JIMS Performance and Dennis Kirk!

Tighten rear lever making sure the end of the shaft is flush with the rear lever. An inspection mirror may help you.

I installed a new spacer by Drag Specialties from Dennis Kirk. The H-D dealership said the part was discontinued by Harley.

Install your front pedal lever. Take care to line it up where you had it before.

Install the rear shifter lever or cap as in my case. Test the shifter mechanism for binding. Assembly should be a lot "tighter" like when the bike was new. Test ride...

I cracked one of the magnets removing the rotor when I angled it off of the splined shaft. This cost me over $200 to replace and double the parts to do the intended job.

Using a seal removal tool. I should have taken better care and not scratched the aluminum bore. It's open space so does not appear to be critical. I deburred and cleaned the bore prior to reinstallation

Old seal (I'm guessing the same one from the factory. I have no records of it ever being replaced).

Removal complete. You can see where I nicked the edge of the bore on the right with the seal removal tool.

Another pic of the bore prior to deburring and cleaning the bore. There is an air gap between the seal and the crank bearing. The deck screw trick may be a better option.

Success! New seal installed. I used a brass drift to install the seal going around the edge till it was seated. A lot of labor for a $4 part!
