rocker cover gasket

[davjac]

Any tips on replacing rocker cover gasket
on rear cylinder of a 2002 Roadking.
It seems fairly straightforward.
Would I have to raise the gas tank?

removing the tank makes it much easier as does having a dog bone torq adaptor to get to the rear bolts.

  Removing the tank takes a few minutes. Scratching the tank trying to work around it takes a second.

I just did both the front & the rear on my 03 Ultra . the rear was leaking & I didn't take my tanks off , just be careful .

Even with the tanks off , theres not much room to get at the back & a Torque wrench adaptor will be nice to have & use , as said above.

The gaskets I got from HD have some kind of coating on them unlike the Org. ones( just steel )& seem to work , I have no more leaks .
