welcome everybody, today i start the repair process of fixing the electrical system on
this Harley Davidson Ultra Classic
we are going to be replacing the rotor, the stator and the rectifier
so this will be the first part of the series and in this video we will be going to take
apart the primary cover and getting into the inside of the primary
their is a few thing I have already done and I'm going to go over that with you folks
I've taken off the shifter
riders foot rest has been removed, attaches here and here
removed the passengers foot rest, attaches here
took off the clutch cover
took off the tensioner adjustment cover
I also disconnected the shift linkage, you'll see why at a later date
the fluid from the primary has been drained
and now we're ready to pull the cover off
I've removed most of the screws, only got two screws left to pull this cover off
now you remove the gasket, we will not be reusing gaskets here at all
I'm going to wipe up some of this extra oil that's hanging around here
now I can tell you this, when I drained this oil and when I pulled the covers off I could smell
a burnt electrical smell
and the oil was really black so I don't know
something happened with that stator
or something in there happened, we're going to find out when we get to it
I'm gonna go ahead and clean up my part, get it all wiped up and out of the way
my thinking here is
I'm taking this apart to get to the rotor and stator
so while I'm in here
I'm going to replace every seal and gasket that I can
including the shifter seal
which is why I took off the shifter linkage
before you start this job
disconnect your negative cable on the battery
that way you have no power and no chance of an accident
or any thing happening to your electrical system while you putting it in and what not
actual nut in here
now this is what's called left handed threads
so we're gonna have to turn this to the right to unscrew it
I'm using a piece of wood to jam this up
so it don't spin
there we go
and their is your nut
and now we got to take this nut off
this is normal threads so we're going to turn this one left to remove it
using a breaker bar 1/2" breaker bar
gonna put our tool or wooden piece underneath the chain here to lock it in place
we're gonna turn this, left
wow
that is tight
alot of people have a hard time with this
okay
alright, so I could not take that off with the 1/2" breaker bar so I had to go to the impact
and get it off that way
compensator actually looks really really good
got a little wear right here but overall
it looks pretty good man
Last thing I'm going to do is I'm going to take the chain adjuster off
this is the old school chain adjusters
it's manual
their is no spring
alright so that's loose, it's all the way down
so this is ready to come out
and the clutch pack is ready to come out
so we take everything out as one unit
and I'm going to lay it on my pan
so now we got the primary housing all apart
now we got to get the rotor off
looks like I can put some bolts in here, I don't have any tools
remember I'm doing this without special tools
so
let's see what I can use
let's see if I can use some of my special picks here
to pull on this
wow
that is difficult
alright, we're going to put some bolts in there, as you can see
and we're going to use vise grips to try to pull this out
ah, their we go
that thing is burnt to a crisp
so as you can see here, the rotor doesn't look bad
all the magnets are present but we're going to be replacing this part anyways
so we'll set this aside
you can see these all look okay here and look at that it's all burnt to a crisp
all burnt to a crisp
this one started to heat up
so that stator is shot
and you can smell that too
I don't know if you guys ever smelled an electrical smell before
we'll that's what I'm smelling right now
alright, so theirs my problem
stators gone
and like I said we're going to replace this all as one cause I bought a kit, the stator,
rotor and the rectifier
I'm not messing around with this
get this done the right way
the electrical plug
has to be disconnected, obviously from the rectifier like we did in the first video of
of diagnosing the system
now this plug come apart but what I'm going to do is I'm going to snip it right here at
the housing to make it easy to get it out of there
just going to cut it right there
wow
some thick wire
their we go
alright, so the pigtail is out, I just cut it, I'll have to take this apart at some point
and get those pins out of there
their is four bolts, I'm just going to take them out
now that stator should just pop right off of there
or slide off of there
we got to pull that cable through
going to use a screw driver
to pop that cable through there
there we go
see how burnt up those coils are
I don't know if you can see it very well but there you go
ya that thing is fried
look at the back side
see it
I don't know why it came up good on the ohms test
and it wasn't coming up grounded either
I don't know
just one of those things but their was no voltage coming out of this if you watched
the first video so
but I knew their was an issue inside of here
so that's going to be it for today
we''ll make a part three to the series
and that will be taking this off
alright
and get into that trani seal
you'all take care
god bless
and I'll catch you on the next part
bye bye
