While apart, think about what else you need to do.

Pull the drive saft, lube the WHOLE rear end. You'll also need to keep in mind that this is a 10K maintenance while you have the CT on.

Also read up and decide if you want to do the bearing mod. Changing out the single roller bearing on the LH side, to the same double roller on the RH side. Do a search and read what people say.

Have a look at everything back there. Good time to look at rear brake pads and condition of brake fluid. Should be clear or light straw color. If it looks like tea or coffee-change it out(DOT4) with new. Take a moment and install metal air valves also. Going D/S-welcome for you are now forever lost. RIDE SAFE.

The WHOLE rear end includes pulling the drive shaft out of the pinion cup and cleaning both.  There are two holes at the bottom of the pinion cup that are half hidden by the flange nut that holds the cup on.  Use a pick to thoroughly clean these as well.
