Harley Sidecar wheel bearings
Quote from Kerry Tate on September 13, 2021, 7:37 amA few months ago I purchased a 1985 Harley FLH with a harley sidecar. The bike had been sitting in a barn for a long time. I have got the old girl running and have been going through the bike to get things right. I am wanting to take the sidecar wheel off and inspect and grease the wheel bearings. I have got the Harley Sidecar 79-84 service manual(only one I could find ) and it looks pretty involved and mentions using a wheel bearing instillation tool HD-9440-81 I have replaced wheel bearings on my other Harleys and have the wheel bearing tools to do this seems like the sidecar wheel bearings are completely different i was wondering if my tools will work has anyone else done this ? Any tips would be appreciated
Thanks Kerry
