Primary Leak

Put a little assembly lube in the primary cover where the shift shaft goes too.  The factory says to replaces the shaft seal.  They also say to use genuine Harley transmission oil.  I know the latter is pure bullshit so I suspect the former is a little suspect too.  If I had a seal handy I would have put it it.  The splines are a little bunged up and could easily cut the seal up during removal.  Oh well, maybe another day.  Let's hope a dental tool can get the seal out so I don't have to pull this cover again.
Here's the little trick when putting the cover back on-- you have to reach up and push the chain out of the way so it can go over the tensioner instead of slam into the side.  Do not force anything-- you will be doomed.  I want everyone to notice how shiny and pretty the cover is now that I polished it.  I hope Wam understands.  I'll never make it to San Jose to get Lorrie and then get back to Sunnyvale in time for the funeral service.
Note there are big bolts for the footpeg, long and short bolts for the cover, really short bolts for the derby cover and an oddball medium bolt for the shifter clamp.   Don't be a wino and force the long bolts into the short holes.  I know your tired of hearing about my '62, but all the bolts in it's primary cover are the same length, the way god and allah intended..
