JIMS H-D Cruise Drive 6-Speed Main Drive Gear & Bearing Remover / Installer Tool Kit (#900)

This item is a JIMS Instruction Sheet for Tool #900, described as an 'H-D CRUISE DRIVE 6-SPEED MAIN DRIVE GEAR & BEARING REMOVER / INSTALLER TOOL'. The instruction sheet visually appears to be made of standard paper, likely a semi-gloss or matte finish, showing some wrinkles and a slight yellowing consistent with age or use. The text is printed in black ink, featuring the 'JIMS' logo at the top, a stylized flame design with the company name. The sheet lists recommended tools and parts for the described operation, indicating its function as a guide for specialized motorcycle maintenance. The kit itself, housed in an open cardboard box, consists of various metal components, primarily steel, with some parts appearing to be machined aluminum due to their lighter, matte grey finish. There are several cylindrical and disc-shaped pieces, as well as threaded rods and bolts, all designed for precise fitting and removal/installation tasks. One notable component is a large, flat, irregularly shaped metal piece, possibly a wrench or a specialized pressing plate, with visible bolt holes. Another part is a substantial, dark cylindrical piece, possibly a bearing driver, with a hexagonal recess. A prominent blue ring, likely a plastic or urethane component, suggests specialized applications within the tool's function, possibly for protecting surfaces or providing cushioning. The tools exhibit minor wear and scuffs, consistent with having been used or handled, but no significant damage like heavy rust or warping is immediately apparent. The cardboard box is a simple, utilitarian brown, showing visible dirt and wear on its interior. The tools collectively appear to be well-machined, suggesting professional-grade quality and precision. The overall condition suggests a used but functionally sound set of tools.
