The shifter shaft on my bike has been weeping oil for a while. Never enough to drip, but enough to leave an oil film below the shifter shaft on the primary cover. I figured the way to get the seal out was to use a small pick and try to pry it out, but I did a quick search here on the Badweb and someone said that there was a Snap-on tool made for pulling the seal. Hey that sounds like the ticket so I searched the Snap-on web site and found the puller. Snap-on #YA9348 for $29. Ordered it online and it shows up a few days later. Here's the photos of the work.

![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/3842/270655.jpg) Hex bolt threads into puller and pushes on shifter shaft and the seal pulls right out. Piece of cake!

Now, that's cool ! Nothing like the right tool for the job, eh? |

DOH! (note to self... insert the seal ***after*** assembling the primary cover back onto the engine...)
