ok i know some mechanical stuff
how can you describe this job .... change a wear ring on a sportster le 2001
easy, medium or hard or is better to forget that

the dealer charge me 60$ for part and 2 hrs of labour total for the repair at the dealer 250$ ( cdn ).

i have the shop manual for it . it's look enough easy that i could make it but i want some feedback on it . the only thing that i affraid of it's the gasket and sealer at some place

so i will appreciate if someone can told me if with a little of ackonwledge i will be able to do it.

if somebody have already make this kind of job i will appreciate to have a feedback on it

thank you

thank you for all of you who have read me

2 questions have come in my mind
1- they have read and not answer bnecause they have never make this job
or
2-it was so easy thaqt no answer was applicable

i hope that the 2nd one was the good one

i have buy the wear ring and a small jar of syntetic oiul for the shaft 80$ cnd

and i have take2 hrs to complete the job (i guest the next time it will take less then that ) . in the manual they say to un screw the blade frome the shaft but it's take a special tool so afther some reflexion time i have choose to cut the wear ring ( like they say in the manual ) with a dremel tool slowly and carefully and i have punch out the ringslowly too. i put back the new ringand reassemble everything. first start perfectly.

so in conclusion it's take some really basic mechanical skill a new part ( check on ebay ) and 2 hrs of your life to save in my case close to 200$ cnd

have a great day
