spurdy Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 You have to split cases to change crank seals. Why? The seals are not captured by the case or retatining ring or anything. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUILDER Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Why? The seals are not captured by the case or retatining ring or anything. SP You have got to split the cases to replace the seals. The reason you have got to do that is the seals all have a ring around them that sits in the case halves. Believe the guys when they say you have got to split the cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Split the cases.... And while you're at it...have the crank bearings checked. Bad bearings could cause the end to wobble and ruin a seal. It would only be a matter of time before you're doing this all over again. If you're going to do it...do it right. Have the crank checked, trued and welded while it's out. Replace both seals. Have the top end inspected for wear and clearances. Now is the time to do it since it's all gonna be apart. It MIGHT cost a little now...or it could cost a LOT more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayr742003 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I agree 100% on doing it right. When tearing it apart i know a few things i would like to check aslo what do u recomend checkin when you got your cases apart? I took one apart before and and before the guy got the money to replace the crank he sold so i never had the chance to look at everything. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
