The bike is back together without the chrome inner. Money is tight right now and I wanted to get it back together today. You need to remove the outer primary, clutch and compensator sprocket, starter bolts and then the bolts for the inner primary. As far the seal that was leaking I need a few days to be sure I got it all fixed but it seems fine now. KK6PG can explain it better than I.
It needs a bath and a nice shakedown run tomorrow. It only took about 10 hours of labor to replace a bearing and a couple of seals.

Help me out here DR V Twin. Little lost as to how this sleeve sliding back hit the oil seal. This is the harden inner race for the outboard transmission bearing between the transmission and primary. Looking from the clutch side inward it should have been trapped by the larger diameter spacer the actual runs in the seal for the back side of the primary cover. Then you have the quad seal for the transmission and a large snap ring and transmission bearing. If the outer race moved back how did it push the next larger seal sleeve back unless you have a snap ring in the transmission gone bad? Was your primary leaking or was it your transmission? What is that oil type on the floor?

2/ I thought the inner seal for the primary was closer to the pulley running on a larger spacer. Would appear that this sleeve would need to push the larger sleeve back?

Dont make assumptions that just because a seal is on the primary side, the trans aint leaking and wont get hurt. I'm glad Drew wasnt on the road to nowhere when this happened, and he knows someone that works for

With you now.
Thanks for the help. Never been this deep. Harley service manual has it split so its difficult to get it all in your head. Finally put it together on Bikebandit.com fish. There is like three shafts running between the primary and transmission. (Inside each other) The oil was coming between the outer one and the main drive gear from the transmission before it gets to the primary seal. You must have cleaned it off the front side of the drive pulley. I was thinking it was leaking on other side of drive pulley. When it was leaking it had to have been running down on the belt and throwing it everywhere.
