I'm removing the inner primary and ran into a problem of getting around the shifter shaft to be able to lock up the compensator/clutch so I can remove them. It's a 2000 dyna superglide that's got a leaking inner seal. I'm quite capable as a mechanic and have good tools but am getting beaten be a shifter tube. Lol. any tips would be greatly appreciated and tried

I have a home made aluminum model that works quite well.

My shifter tube is still installed I'm going to put a plug in it as I've got forward controls I've got a wood block to lock them up but can't seem to get enough angle because of the shifter shaft being in the way

Remove the tube that surrounds the shift lever. With the tube out of the way the shift lever can be moved out of the way.

use a 1 in sq. or slat of some kind 8"? long aluminum or steel..8 in..on my 91 bagger... 80/20 alum stuff works(mine) from work...and place laterally angled install into opposing teeth...u nd to remove the tensioner assy ..easy...that setup is not good the way u have it on the tensioner block....or u can use that setup but pull the ten-assy out...ur block is hard on the chain and teeth btw...but it looks alum so ok

I ended up going to the home depot and buying a piece of 1-1/4" × 1/4" flat stock steel and cut a piece to fit was thin enough and strong enough. Thank you everyone

hey clean the big nuts/sockets w carb cleaner wen getting on/off...they will slip scar the nuts....and breaker bar will bash you in the head

 

[gb1500]

also use some... lots..med lockyite on the splines/bolt...keeps oil out and will keep tight

 

[Dyna Davidson]

By the way gentleman. It ended up being 9.5"" and 9.75" had to make and use 2 to get around the stock raised bolt holes in the inner. For future reference. I know you guys are thinking I'm crazy and your probably right but that's how I worked it out

If you get on E bay your can buy a Primary chain locking tool , that is where I got mine
