I would suggest Loctite 243 Medium Treadlocker. Has highest temperature range for any blue Loctite and has high oil tolerance.

Just put some blue loc-tite on the bolt, it should keep it from coming lose.

I'm not sure I am the person to ask but I do know there are two types of "LOC-TITE". One gets very hard and is difficult to get things apart and the other not so much. I would check with your local hardware store or the LOC-TITE" web site.

yes, harley recommend using Loctite 243 Threadlocker Sealant Blue-99642-97. Make sure you use the blue loctite not the red, the red is use only for permanent sealant and you would need a heating torch to remove the bolts in the future.

have you tried tightening the hex screws? i've used mine extensively and when the oil gets hot, it gets thinner and seems to pass the seals more easily. it's a handy, lightweight little hammer to have around even if it does leak some. i've fabricated some seals out of an old tire tube that i had for just that purpose in other applications.

You need allen wrenches to take the motor off of the bracket which most people don't carry around. I use a lock cable between the two wheels when I lock it up or lock it to a pole also the bike is heavy and awkward to pick up or carry with the battery in the bracket but be sure to lock the battery in.

I have never had an issue that you've described. In fact my Neiko jackhammer has given me over 100 hours of trouble free use. Just make sure you keep it full of oil and keep the screws tight. As far as finding replacement seals and gaskets, I would first try calling around or, make them myself.

It's mostly the outer bearing. I don't think it can easily push the grease all the way to the inner bearings, although I never had an issue with the inner bearings. If your inner bearing gasket isn't leaking it shouldn't be an issue anyway. As long as you re-pack your bearings once in awhile you will be fine if everything is installed correctly. These definitely help though, especially if you were to have a seal go out, it could keep it greased for awhile.

Local hardware stores have a large variety of bolts and nuts, in many different styles. Ace, Home Depot, lowes, do-it best, etc..I would recommend either a lock nut, or thread lock so they don't come loose.

All of these answers are good!Be very careful when locking the last bearing on. I have learned that if you squeeze too tight, you can collapse the bearing, therefore breaking at least the first one, if not the 2nd one. I found it is almost better to put two spacers in between the last bearing and your tightener.

if you turned the 'squeezing' nut too much were the whole assembley turns you will never get it tight. you get one try at it then you have to back off the nut and drill out bad nutsert an try again with another there is no going back . you might find another one at a hardware store or email dee zee for another . good luck they are tricky!!!!

I have the same problem. It takes some more cap tightening after the oil leaks. The oil lubricates the threads so if you use more force the leak will stop.

its not a bad design, i have a 795 and had the same problem when i first used it. the chuck has an unusual dubble locking action. close the chuck down on the bit when it stops, grab the black nurled chuck and twist it clockwise again, u will hear a clicking sound as it wratchets down till it locks again, and then the bit wont fall out

I just use Husqvarna Bar oil and that seemed to work fine. I would recommend draining the extra oil before storing it.

I always hand tighten the oil filter for the past 30 years never had a mishap. Even then I don't over tighten it. Too tight you will distort the seal and cause a leak. I bought this wrench to loosen the filter, not to tighten it.

Try wrapping something around the bars where you put the mounts. Masking tape, electrical tape, paper etc. I had no problem tightening them on my Harley bars.

Although I dont know 100% I dont think harley has changed thier bolt pattern for their horns since the early 1980's you shouldn't have a problem. Your best bet would be to visit y o ur local harley dealership they could tell u for sure

HI . I don't know about your Harley . BUT .. the disk MUST have hole(s) less than 5 cm from the edge of the disk and bigger or Equal to 1.5 cm wide that the lock piston can enter inside . I need to tell you .. this lock is not that loud and not that sensitive .

Tighten drill chuck on to drill bit. The guide sleeve on the outside of the drillbit will stop drillbit from falling into cylinder. Be careful using tap, you do not want tap to fall into cylinder.. On the off chance this happens A magnet will remove it. You will have to back thread it out. When using compressed air to clean cylinder after new threads have been installed. Use a small amount of paint thinner to break down the oil.. After cylinder has been cleaned use a small amount of oil to lubricate cylinder. Ensure new threads are clear of any oil or debris. Use your liquid weld on new threads. Tore down threads. After 24 hours re torque again. Take your time and good luck Tighten drill chuck on to drill bit.
