guys here is the deal. i looked at the half shaft that the garagerreturned to me the day i picked it up and it has been taken all a part. It looks to me like the garage didn't know what they were doing and may have stripped the replacement half shaft for part to rebuild the existing half shaft instead of replace it. I called the dealership and they told me a few weeks ago that a the mechanic called and asked about how to remove the driverside half shaft.
It took them two days to do the work and in those two days they managed to break my abs sensor, abs ring, and one of my HD tie-rod ends from indy. I looked it the maual but it just tell about removing the passenger side axle.

so what i need to know is what is involved in the removal so i can question the mechanic with a good idea on process he should have taken?

any help would be great, i know some of you guys have replaced your own.

I'm sorry to hear this has taken a rather nasty turn...yet another reason I'll never let another boy with a wrench near my Suzy...

What I'd like to know, is how in the HELL do you fubar one of Indy4X's H-D tie rod ends??? You didn't see large bunches of banannas hanging from the break room ceiling did you?

I know i was like what the ****??? then i called indy and they wouldn't tell me the part# so i could cross reference it at napa. but napa was able to match it up okay.

WiSDoM -- yeah they are only offering to pay the dealership if it is due to their install.

It sounds to me like the question has been answered as to whether it was the work the shop did that caused the problem, so why not just get the dealership to document (and notarized if necessary) what happened (including the phone call), and go from there. Seems fairly open and shut to me.
