Replacing mangled Judge's oil gear (or the original plastic gear) with new OEM steel on Vulcan 1500. PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE.

A lot of people use the "Judges" gear to replace the mangled original plastic oil gear. Then the "Judges" gear ends up getting mangled as well. A steel OEM gear is available but without some creativity, it would require splitting the cases. I had previously referred to another video for some background but that video has been made private--at least it is today 6-25-2021. It was really helpful for me to build on to develop this process.

Having said that I did find a way to remove and install the "C" clip (which holds the oil gear shaft onto the oil pump shaft) with a modified pair of Harbor Freight needle nose pliers and do it in seven minutes (internal procedure) which could be less with an even more refined tool based on what I learned.

A bit more detail of the "tool:"

IMPORTANT NOTE: Next time you clean the oil pump pre-screen be super careful not to allow any metal shavings, (that might have gotten into the pan), to find their way past that screen or they may cause the pump to freeze up and you’ll be back to square one--like broken pump shaft, splitting the cases, back to square one.

The camera/scope I was is on Amazon for $37.98. I can't find it now so I'd try this one (I'm not compensated):
