Title: Crank Seals ???
Post by: KX Newfie on October 17, 2008, 02:52:32 AM

Bearings seem good......but seal on clutch side definately gone.....should i do a complete tear down & change bearings anyway.....or just change seals.

I may change bearings as well (hard to tell if bearings are perfect when the cases aren't split.}  :|

the cases need to be split to change those seals. Before those seals can be replaced the crank bearing will need to be pressed out of the cases, so I would replace everything while in their.
