rickymcg Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hi guys My gear lever oil seal is leaking quite badly and will need replaced, does this require a full strip down of the engine ? Is the seal pressed in from behind ? I fear the answer to both questions will be yes but just incase anyone has managed to change one another way without a strip down.

neo Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Lucky for you it's No and No!! The seal pulls out from the front but you'll need a "seal pick" tool.... The new one can be tapped in with a socket(s) and mallet.... grease the seal hole and go easy and straight on that. You can buy the seal from Sherco. But having said that the fitting hole is quite deep, so if you go to your local seal shop you can get two thinner, double lip seals and fit them one behind the other... It'll never leak again then. All the best. Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
