question about crank seals

[joshv5.0]

do you install them after you put the cases back together or before you put the caes together?

You can replace the flywheel side crankseal by just removing the flywheel,but the others you gotta split the case to do i got all mine done for 200 the price includes work and all new gaskets, and seals, its not to bad to do yourself but by the time my crankseals went i could not even think about tearin it apart again, by the way i got a 20cc dome i would sell you for next to nothing

well i would love to buy it for next to nothing!!!!!

lemme know how much and where to send it

 

yea i happen to already have the cases split and i was planning on putting it back together tommorow. and i was wondering if i should put them in prior or afterwards

 

i'm a mechanic and on all the timing belt jobs at work i replace the same kinda seals in cam's and crank's by sliding them on the shaft with a little grease on'em. i kinda figured i would do the same with this

You definitely want to grease the inner lip of the seals before you slide

them on or else they will fail. To answer your question, you CANNOT

properly install the seals with the cases together. They sit in a groove

in the cases and must be in place and "sandwiched" when you bolt the

case halves back together.
