2015 Touring – CRANKCASE DISASSEMBLY AND REPAIR – CRANKCASE DISASSEMBLY

Written by

1. Remove oil pump from crankshaft.

NOTE

Do NOT rotate left crankcase half in the engine stand so the flywheel sprocket shaft is facing up. The flywheel assembly will fall out of the case.

2. Rotate crankcase in the engine stand so that the cam cover flange is facing straight upward.

3. See Figure 3-119. Remove the nine crankcase bolts in the sequence shown.

NOTE

Never move or lift the crankcase by grasping the cylinder studs.
The crankcase is too heavy to be carried in this manner and may be dropped.

4. Separate case halves. Lift right crankcase half off end of crankshaft.

5. See Figure 3-120. Remove two dowel pins in split line face of right case half.

6. Remove flywheel assembly from the crankcase. Inspect crankshaft/flywheel assembly. See 3.29 FLYWHEEL AND CONNECTING RODS.
