Install Inner Race on Harley 5 Spd. How to install inner race on main trans shaft on Harley 5 spd. Using a race install tool, video shows step by step install of inner race on main shaft of Harley 5 spd.
Just want to give you another big THANKS for all your vids. They are probably the clearest and well explained of all the ones I've browsed on Ytube. I'm (slowly) tackling this on an old Evo FXWG, and I don't know how many dollars you've probably saved me from a visit to the stealorship. Thanks again -
Depending on the year model and trans. On 2000 to 2006 5 spd the gap is .100 - .125. The best advice I can give is refer to the shop manual for you're bike. Thanks for watching.
Just did one myself, but there are vendors out there that make a better, wider bearing to replaced this system. Sometimes I think Harley engineers things so you have to take repairs to a shop or dealer.
I agree, they definitely want you in their shop. But now a lot of the dealers won't work on bikes 10 years or older. I know Jim's makes a bearing to replace the race, but I haven't seen or heard how long they last. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. Ride safe
Glad you liked the video. I think I got those tools off Amazon but not sure because I've had them along time. I've already done videos on trans seals and primary seal's. Look at my playlist in transmissions and you'll find the trans seals in that playlist. Primary seal's are in Primary R&R playlist. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
I’m running out of opinions. My bike vibrates pretty bad when I’m getting on it. Not at an ideal. I was told my main shaft could be bent my cranks outta wack and so on. Soon as I pull my clutch in it ideals down and goes away. In your option what are the odds it’s the shaft? 96 fatboy evo
That's not good, it could be a bent main shaft. But when a main shaft is bent it usually causes shifting problems or just blows the trans apart. I would start at the rear wheel, check for alignment, bearings, bent rim, bad axle, warped rotor, bend drive pulley, bad tire, swingarm bushings and make sure everything is tightened correctly. Check for bend frame or swingarm. Than start moving forward and check motor mounts. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the question, you can heat the race it helps slide it on but doesn't do much for the PVC pipe. What I used to do is take the old race drill it out so it slips over the shaft easily. Than heat the new race put the old race against it than the PVC pipe against the old race. Keeps the PVC from softening up. Thanks for watching.
Hi Clark, I've never reused a inner race. Some of the races that I have removed that were used and installed by someone else all walked into the main gear. So I wouldn't recommend reusing one unless you don't mind replacing it in the future.
Glad you like the videos and thanks for the invite. But I don't think I'll be heading to Florida anytime soon. But if you get out this way let me know.
good vid but... DO NOT install this race assembly anymore. Use the race/bearing kit that installs in the inner primary instead. It's one unit and you don't have to worry about the inner race walking into the quad seal. Ride safe everybody.
If you're going for the race and bearing separately you can get at any Harley dealer. If you're looking for the 1 piece race and bearing the only company I know of that makes it is Jim's. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
