Starter removal

You have to remove the outer primary cover
the starter jack shaft has a bolt that has to be removed from that side

If you don't have one get the Service Manual from the Dealer
it will detail every item and how to RNR the part.

Primary Removal, you should not have to go through all this, but it
shows you the clutch basket



THis gives you the general idea on everything you need to do, and if you skip to 2:26 you'll see the starter jackshaft bolt and how to remove it, don't worry that it's a dyna in the video the starter and stuff is the same.

It's not difficult but there are several steps involved....

Without the SM working on the bike is not as simple
and you will either miss hidden bolts/nuts or break something
trying to force it off, the $ for the SM is worth every penny
if you wrench your own ride.

He has an 03 so unless the Harley fairy flew over and changed it for him, he's got the original style..

Jack it's not too difficult, more time consuming,

Tip.
1) Drain Primary
2) put down paper towels, rags, catch pan etc
3) remove rear shift arm and peg
4) Remove rear bolt on front floorboard (or take off the floorboard)
and push the whole assembly down at the rear and out of the way.
5) using allen socket and wrench pop each of the primary cover bolts loose
6) Remove the torx bolts (4) from the inspection port cover 2 long, 2 short (if you know which are the two long, just remove them leave the short ones so you don't have to get a new gasket.
7) using power cordless drill with allen wrench remove the screws, be sure to
hold onto the cover when you pull the last bolt, it may pop right off, if not a good dead blow hammer to pop it loose is good, don't take a screwdriver and try and pry it off, the surfaces need to mate to seal it up when done.
8)remove gasket, clean up fluids, have beer,
9) note the starter jackshaft gear above the clutch basket,
10) push gently back on the retaining clip on the bolt, (might as well buy a spare, last thing you want is to be doing this friday night at 9pm before a planned ride and bust the retaining tab)
11) I get a set of large plyers and gently hold the gear, you can put a rag on the gear but you have to hold it , then back off the bolt, it's about 5 inches long
12) now you can remove the starter, there is a coupler in there so take the starter straight out and note the position of the coupler, it has to go back on the same way.

Reverse to install refill fluids.

yeah you'll have to do that too since the left rear pipe goes over the starter on the 03
