JPWI Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 I have come to the conclusion that my shee needs new crankshaft seals, is it possible to change them without splitting the cases? Many thx from Sweden! Quote
rubberneck Posted May 8, 2012 Report Posted May 8, 2012 kind of, ive heard of guys pulling the old ones, then cutting the outside lip off the new ones and pushing them in with some sealant on the outside to stick them to the cases, but i would consider this only as a patch to get through a trip or something. It is entirely too easy to split the cases and do it right. Not to mention you can then inspect everything and replace the worn parts. It is entirely possible that the whole reason you need new seals is the crank is out of true, or bearings are taking a shit, so just sticking new seals in isnt going to solve anything. Just do it right the first time and be done. Quote

I recently rebuilded the top end to new, with Wisecos, repainted cylinders and polished bolts etc, so why not the bottom end also! Thanks for quick response! Best Regards / Jeppe Quote
