The clutch pulley is free from the primary chain case. Using a breaker bar, finish removing the mainshaft nut. Place the tool between the upper strand of the primary chain and the clutch hub sprocket and turn clockwise. Remove the clutch hub mainshaft nut with a primary drive locking tool. You should now be able to pull the release plate away from the center of the clutch.ĥ. Remove the retaining clip around the release plate with a pick tool.

Loosen the jam nut - located in the center of the clutch plate - with an Allen wrench. Once the bolt is loose, you may pull the chain tensioner shoe down and out of the way of the primary chain.Ĥ. Loosen the chain tensioner bolt in the center of the chain tensioner using a standard wrench. Remove the outer primary cover with an Allen wrench by removing the 12 Allen bolts holding it in place.ģ. While the lubricant drains, remove the inspection and clutch covers with a screwdriver. A reader wonders which oil types he should use in his Harley-Davidson Twin-Cam primary chaincase and transmission. Drain the primary chain case lubricant into a drain pan by loosening the magnetic drain plug - located underneath the outer primary with a wrench. This is the bolt that connects the seat to the rear fender.Ģ. Remove the seat by removing the bolt and nut - located at the rear of the seat - with a wrench. The clutch pulley requires replacement if the teeth on the pulley become worn however, replacement is not commonly necessary as it does not wear out easily.ġ. The primary chain connects the clutch pulley to the compensating sprocket with a chain tensioner shoe located between the two. And to me, spending $100 on a new impact gun and c-clamp is better than spending $50 on the HD tool I'll probably only use once.The transmission clutch pulley - located inside the primary chain case - is responsible for maintaining smoothness when clutching and shifting your motorcycle. Putting the C-clamp in place does help keep it locked. It doesn't move as bad as putting steady pressure (tried that also, with a 6' pipe & breaker bar). I'm just saying that I wasn't comfortable with it.I tried gunning the nut off with the bike in gear. Maybe the shop techs at the dealership would just put it in gear and hit it with an impact wrench.I don't know and I'm not saying it wouldn't work. I figure there must be a reason a tool exists. Harley sells a tool to hold that pulley in place so you can break that nut loose. Even with the front wheel against a wall and all my weight on the seat. Even with a long extension I got nothing but the engine wanting to turn over.

I DID put it in gear and try to break the nut loose with a breaker bar. In my mind it was best to have it in neutral while hitting it with the impact wrench so the gears wouldn't be stressed. I didn't because I didn't want that jackhammer action to be transferred to my gears.
