How to remove a clutch cable from a LSD

[pauldeepsea]

I have searched and found the how to on a RSD:

Do I need to remove the ball and ramp mechanism to remove the clutch cable?

or is there a way to remove the ferrels without removing the retaining ring and ramp mechanism

X10!! Be careful with that dang snap ring. I broke two covers!! You almost have it out...than BAM, it slips off the pliers and that heavy duty snap ring snaps the cheap pot metal on the cover.

Well now I need a new transmission cover! Any idea what models fit our bikes ?found a bunch on eBay. Tommorow I am going to check the Harley dealership. And I need to replace my clutch cable too... Ouch.

It looks like your starting the long spiral downwards too..... seemed like I needed to replace everything I touched!! Not cause I'm a dumbass, but it was all needed. The previous owners liked to "kick the dog" I believe. Have fun and good luck. I know you can get a new cover from Baker. I think they are like $128? Not sure but I bet shovelheadkicker can get ya another Roadmax cheap??
