one step forward... two steps back... a-fucking-gain!

 an amazing amount of oil can find its way
  out of one gearbox stud - or is it two...
 but not overnight, cold...
both studs carefully heated up 
(cos I put them in with loctite 270 
thinking I am not gonna take them out again!) 
and carefully removed, 
just in case both were leaking!

I hope someone out there is saved the shit I've been through, 
by reading these shitty tales.

Use the Harley-Davidson "High Performance Sealant, Grey" on those studs, instead of the Loctite 270. You'll be glad you did. But, it's gotta be CLEAN - both the case threads, and the studs - no trans lube on either.

The H-D part # is 99650-02, it's what H-D uses on their 5 speed case studs.

I tried 542, rubbish (my fault) then 242 (small leak)
