In 2012 Harley-Davidson changed the design of the oil dipstick from a socket style cap to a finger grasp cap design. Although this design feature is intended to make it easier for the owner or technician to remove the dipstick, often times it is still very difficult to remove. Sometimes the technician needs to remove the dipstick prior to the bike cooling down, or the dipstick is simply stuck and hard to remove. This is especially true when the oil is contaminated with water condensation from being run for short periods of time without reaching operating temperature, resulting in the dipstick being virtually impossible to remove. Now you no longer have to risk damaging the dipstick cap with a set of pliers. Simply install this insert in your existing JIMS dipstick socket tool P/N 461002 (sold separately) and remove the finger grasp cap easily with no chance of damage. Designed by Gary Smith exclusively for JIMS Manufactured out of blue delrin Insert also available as a kit with the socket for earlier model bikes Made in USA Manufacturer's lifetime warranty.
