Primary plug

As you may recall, my task in Harley class last week, to change oil, transmission, and primary fluids, was foiled by a stripped primary plug. The teacher suggested taking it to the shop.

Well, the shop snoozed and lost -- I gave them a chance to schedule this easy $100 labor + $2 parts, and they never called me back.

So I decided to get to work ... using my new motorcycle lift, a hammer, and a #40 Torx bit, I was able to get a good enough grip on the stripped plug to get it free.

Unfortunately, I didn't get this done until the Harley shop closed for the day, so I'm still missing the $2 part (which I'll pick up tomorrow), but the $100 labor is saved, and my primary fluid is flushing right now.
