cg125 kickstart oil seal

[skikman]

hi all.i took off both side casings on my cg125 to clean up and respray.i was poking around at the oil seal where kickstart goes and a spring like ring came off it.so i guess i have to replace it.before i make a balls up is there a certain way i have to take off and put on these seals?

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

when you say sealant do you mean instant gasket?

[eastanglianbiker]

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

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.

according to parts website the seal is only a couple of quid so its not going to break the bank buying one
