Full tear down of the bottom???

So, there is a special tool for removing the flywheel. Other than that, regular metric tools will work. I highly suggest using an impact wrench.

Can we ask why you are doing a full tear down?

I split my lower case to clean because the Prev owner had melted the piston. I had to check for aluminum flakes. But, I only had to take one half apart. For the the flywheel side, I only took the cover off to clean, I left the flywheel on the crank and tranny in place.

Someone else here split the case because of a thrown valve had put a hole in the piston. He found fragments in the case.

Engineers design things, Technicians make them work.

i'm trying to do a trade with a 92 sportster 1200 and i've got some oil leaks. i know i'm leaking at the top end (maybe the head plug??? might not have pushed the plug down all the way) and near the front pully for the belt.

I just want to clean it up and make sure its in tip top condition for this guy to see if i can squeak by without payin him any extra.

I love this bike, but its just not big enough and not enough throttle for my liking. I also am looking for a larger bike to chop into a piece of artwork and the savage just doesn't seem like the bike to do it on.

If possible i'd like to not get a service manual. I'm a mechanic by profession so tearing into things doesn't bother or scare me..... what specail tool is needed for the flywheel? I don't know if i'm giong to get THAT deep into it, but just in case do you know what it is?
