Today I knocked my Jiffy Stand Spring off. My buddy and I replaced it the hard way. I couldn't find this video when I needed it.
This would have been a lot easier.

The guy put the spring back on incorrectly on the kickstand. Maybe he needs to check out the service manual or at least follow his own rule about making sure you put parts back the same way you remove them. At about 30 seconds into the video, look at how the spring is located on the kickstand & it will be seen several times after that. At about 6:20 watch how he reinstalled the spring. That is not the correct way. As per my 2011 HD service manual: Verify that the end of the spring enters hole from front of leg weldment. If the end of the spring enters hole from rear of weldment, spring coil will rub on leg when exercised.
I just saw that video critiqued. the anti seize was questioned and then it was pointed out the spring was hooked in backwards, so beware. the method is sound.

Reason: sedona beat me to it.
OK. Thanks for the critiques. The main thing that would have helped me today would have been taking the Top Bolt out. We took the mounting screws out. Worked but took longer. We did it on the lawn, with bike leaned over, and everything got reassembled dirty.
