ASSEMBLY
Crankcase Halves
Lubricate all parts with Harley-Davidson 20W50 engine oil,
and proceed as follows:
1. Install new snap ring to crankcase bore (if bearings were
replaced).
a. Pace the crankcase half on a flat surface with the
outboard side facing up.
b. Obtain the two TIMKEN SNAP RING REMOVER/
INSTALLER (HD-44069).
c. See Figure 3-81. With the gap in the snap ring being
the 12 o'clock position, place the two claws so that
the slotted sides engage the inside edge of the snap
ring at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions.
d. Using a 9/64 inch allen head bit, tighten the screws
to fix the position of the claws on the snap ring.
e. See Figure 3-82. Inserting the tips of a large retain-
ing ring pliers (Snap-On PR-56A) into one hole in
each claw, compress the snap ring and install in
groove of crankcase bore.
f. See Figure 3-91. Verify that the gap in the snap ring
is centered below the oil hole at the top of the ring
groove. Move snap ring if not properly centered.
g. Loosen allen head screws and remove claws from
snap ring.
NOTE
See Figure 3-92. Use SPROCKET SHAFT BEARING
OUTER RACE INSTALLATION TOOL (1, 2) (Part No. HD-
39458) to install left and right outer races (4, 5) of sprocket
shaft tapered roller bearings into left crankcase half (6).
Always install left outer race (4) prior to installing right outer
race (5) because the installer base (1) is usable only when
you follow this sequence of race installation.
2. Insert "SPORTSTER" end of installer base (1) into
inboard side of left crankcase half (6) bearing bore until
base contacts installed retaining ring (3).
3. Position left outer race (4) over bearing bore on outboard
side of left crankcase half (6).
4. Insert shaft of installer plug (2) through left outer race (4)
and into installer base (1). Press race into bore until
firmly seated against retaining ring (3).
5. Insert "SPORTSTER" end of installer base (1) into out-
board side of left crankcase half (6) bearing bore until
base contacts outboard surface of installed left outer
race (4).
6. Position right outer race (5) over bearing bore on inboard
side of left crankcase half (6).
7. Insert shaft of installer plug (2) through right outer race
(5) and into installer base (1). Press race into bore until
firmly seated against retaining ring (3).
NOTE
See Figure 3-93. Use SPROCKET SHAFT BEARING/SEAL
INSTALLATION TOOL (Part No. HD-42579) to install
sprocket shaft tapered roller bearings and seal.
