To get the seal out.... drill small holes in the face of the seal and use a SLIDE HAMMER to pull it out.... great patience is required to wiggle out the seal alternating between the Holes you drilled in the seal.... it is a ROYAL PAIN IN THE ARSE!!! LOL

HI Tommy, unfortunately I don't have a slide hammer, so I used something else which is in the next video. I was warned before I started that this job was just as you described in your comment !

I recently worked on a Sportster engine and was amazed at the number of special tools required, some I was able to work around, but not all and some can be a bit expensive. I really enjoy your videos and the different projects you work on.

Hi Ron, I totally agree, I was also surprised at the number of special tools for such an old design and it does get expensive and holds the job up. Glad you like the videos and thanks for watching!

Hi Alan, it was a James Transmission seal kit, 1936 to 1979 for FL FX etc Part number 955649 and it was twenty quid ( perhaps a bit less cannot find the invoice ) from Hogparts. which I thought was good value for money.

The bike had been converted to sealed primary by a previous owner, I think I mentioned that in one of the videos. Thanks for watching.

Another great session in the garage, do you think they pinged that seal to stop a weeping leak and just at that time did not want to replace it? Hope you are safe and enjoying yourself. Can't wait for the continuation of the exploits on the HD. Thank You for posting your work.

Hi Max, there must have been some reason for all the peening, maybe for the reason you mention, but it all just seemed a bit excessive to me !

The spacer was broken in two, luckily the seal kit comes with one in it. Not sure why it was broken though ?
