I am only able to get the race within .190

 

Don't know what this means.

 

that’s how close to the transmission I can get the race.

 

You could get the race on the but only get the race on to within 0.190 of the MDG?

 

I broke the first S&S IPB race I tried to install on my '02 fLHT, followed the torque spec but the race cracked just before the torque wrench clicked. I was not going to try again so I used a bit of Loctite 680 and the OEM race; all good for many miles.

 

no sorry it calls for .100-.125 and I could only get to .190 so about .065 away from spec

 

yeah, that just happened to me the other day as well and I was able to get them to send me a different one and I am still having the same problems of it not wanting to go on far enough

 

So it's not the fitment, it's the sleeve spacing. Why didn't you say that in the first place..

It's not that you couldn't get it on, it that you could get it on far enough..


Ignore the spec. For one, you won't be able to install the remover with the pulley on..

Install the latest seal from HD in the inner primary. Put a little grease on the sleeve and push the primary into place.. Pull it off and check to see if you have a line in the grease indicating that where the inner lip of the seal. If you don't have a line go to a stock sleeve. The problem is the tolerance stackup on all the tranny parts is off.

 

Do them by feel.. The problem is that interface fit can vary from 0.0005 to 0.0010. Big difference on the amount of effort.

 

well, too late now because I tried to get it within spec and broke the second one so I’m just going to go with the damn stock one and be done with it.
