HEY GUY'S NEED SOME INPUT HERE, I HAVE A 1972 FLH. SHE IS ALL ORIGANAL. THIS BIKE WAS BOUGHT NEW OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR BY ME. SHE HAS 29,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON HER AND NO ONE HAS EVER WORKED ON HER BUT ME. (WORKED AS A MECH. FOR H/D IN THE DREDED 70'S). ANYWAY, IM REPLACING THE OIL PUMP PINION SHAFT GEAR. THE GEAR IS SUPPOSED TO TORQUE AT 35 TO 40 FT. POUNDS. THE GEAR SLIDES BACK TO FAR PREVENTING ME FOR PROPERLY TORQUING IT. ITS TIGHT AND I DON'T THINK IT WILL GO ANYWHERE BUT DID'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU SHOVEL GUYS COULD HELP ME. THESE H/D DEALERSHIPS TODAY ARE CLUELESS ABOUT SHOVELS AND ACT LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE TIME FOR ME. I WOULD HAVE FIRED THEM ON THE SPOT FOR SOME OF THE ACTIONS I SEE THESE DAYS, BUT IM OLD SCHOOL. THANKS

 

Are you sure you have the correct nut/gear combination?
