As you can see, I am basically hanging the pushrod assembly on the hook – that way it is out of the way for the next steps. Take a baby bungee or coat hanger, pull up on the bottom pushrod cover, and expose the bottom of the pushrod. I have a set of baby bungee cords that come in handy here. Once the retaining clips are out, the pieces of the pushrod assembly can be moved around a lot up and down around the pushrod. Step 2: Expose the bottom of the pushrod. You can see in the picture that I am pushing down on the fat section and then simultaneously pulling the retaining clip out. There is a spring inside there and it needs to be compressed in order to slide the retaining clip out from the top. The key here is to exert force down on the first “fatter” section of the pushrod assembly (see photo).

I timed myself the other day, and marveled at how quickly I got those puppies out of there.Īnyways, after doing a compression test on “Cal,” I decided that his compression was too low by my standards.
Over the years, I have become quite adept at successful Harley pushrod removal and installation, and I figured I would share some knowledge on this issue here. I joke a lot with my wife, because Pushrodis a very fun word to say.
