Rear Oil Seal

[grinder]

12 sided wil be fine, its a big nut.
Change the oring on the stationary gear, could do gear bearing aswell if necessary.

yeah i suppose thinking about it - it would have to be REALLY tight for you to round it off

Thanks for the replies..
Dragon you seem to know your stuff!
I thought someone had mentioned a secondary O-ring! What\'s the bearing you are talking about? Do you know the part numbers for all these parts.. I need to get them ordered from somewhere! Is the gear bearing easy to change? Or are you refering to the little bearing that normally comes with a clutch kit? I wil most likely change the clutch as it has been slipping badly due to the oil leak and I am planning on a few mods too!

Thanks

Okay guys,
I finally got a 54mm socket today and took the flywheel off my spare motor.. I then removed the end plate with the stationary gear on it. I got this out okay and I could clearly now see the o-ring, bearing and main seal I require! Easy! However when I went to push the cover plate back in it didn\'t want to go.. it appears the shaft has dropped slightly or maybe the engine has rotated a it?? I tried some gentle persuasion with a block of wood and mallet but no go?? I didn\'t want to hit it too hard!! Is it just a case of give it a good whack and it will line itself up or do I need to spin the engine a bit or what? advise appreciated.

Thank you
Lee

Guy\'s having looked at my spare rear cover.. Would it be fair to say that there should be no real need to change the o-ring and bearing? my only worry is the issue of aligning the rear cover at getting it back in okay!

Thank you
Lee

From what i gather lee when you remove the cover you need to be really carefull not to let the e shaft move,i know when dragon performance were explaining to me what they had done they said there was something about having to be really carefull about doing that.

I decided not to do mine as for me i can go out and earn what it costs in a day so i keep to what i know and let them do what they know!

[leeroy_25]

Now where\'s the fun in that!! I presume if the shaft moves you can move it back?? Just knowing where?! fortunately I am having a practice run on the spare engine!

hopefully someone a bit more gifted than me will come along to help you out:3Confused
