Bob and Mark put a Dyna WideGlide on the table lift to show you how to assemble an HHI’s lower slider, fork tube and six-degree trees with hidden fork stops. They also teach you to use your service manual’s specifications to learn how to torque the parts after they assembled. Finally, be sure to apply anti-seize when necessary and use Spectro Heavy-Duty Fork Oil to fill the fork assembly. We produced a separate multi-hour video class on rebuilding a Springer Front End here.

Bob teaches you how to service the spark plugs on your Harley’s engine.

You should purchase gapped, Harley-only spark plugs which usually come with a gap of 38-43,000th of an inch. After applying some anti-seize to the threads of the new plugs, you can thread them into the cylinder by hand and tighten them with a torque wrench and you’ll be good to go.
