PINION SHAFT BUSHING IN GEARCASE COVER
NOTE
A newly installed pinion shaft bushing in the gearcase cover
must be line reamed, using both the right crankcase half and
Part No. HD-94812-87 as pilots for the reamer, to establish
correct clearance and to ensure proper alignment. If crank-
case halves are not separated on your motorcycle, use a
spare right crankcase half to perform the following line ream-
ing procedures.
1. See Figure 3-103. Pinion shaft bushing must be installed
in gearcase cover as described in BUSHING INSTALLA-
TION. Attach gearcase cover to right crankcase half,
which has been disassembled from left crankcase half,
securing with a minimum of three mounting screws.
