eastanglianbiker Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 you should be able to prise the old seal out of the case from the outside of it using a small screwdriver into the seal and gently lever out place screwdriver into seal using the hole in the middle of the seal then pull outwards,to replace the seal i would make sure the seal hole in the casing is oil free and dry and apply tiny coat of sealant round outer edge of new seal,it should tap in very easily and they only cost a couple of quid to buy new as well so not to drastic a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastanglianbiker Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 if you have got that then yes but you only need a very fine film round the outer edge of the new oil seal its just to make sure it doesnt leak,if you havent got instant gasket then something like blue hylomar is next best thing to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Take the old seal to a bearing suppliers as well. The should be able to match it with you having to pay main dealer mark up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 according to parts website the seal is only a couple of quid so its not going to break the bank buying one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
