If the kick start was leaking that would be great. But it is the shifter shaft that is leaking and im not sure if I can get the seal out with the shaft still in place. Quote
Rodneya Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 You can try to get a metal screw into the seal and try to pull it out using a pliers. Might take a bit of patience as the seal is pretty small. When you put the new one in make sure to put tape over the splines at the end of the shaft so you don't damage the new seal. It will be pretty difficult to get it to go back in straight. A deep reach socket the same size as the seal may work to help get it in straight. Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 take a hooked pick and work the old one out, then grease up the new seal, slide it on the shaft till it starts to seat, then take a 1/2" drive socket and slide it over the shaft backward and gently tap the seal into place. the splines shouldnt be a problem as they are the same size as the shaft. it'll make sense when you do it....
