RKJLOW Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 i bought VITOS all in one set for the seals for the banshee Im rebuilding i looked them over and installed but the PTO side of the crank the gear isn't wanting to go in, installed the seal with the ribs and the spring facing out there is no OUTSIDE or otherwise markings on it. there's text on both sides of the seal. In the lower-end walk through post #5 http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=140912 shows the spring on the outside also. I did get the gear to go on but the spring popped of the seal. any input or help is greatly appreciated. supposed to go riding this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 the ribbed side faces in towards your bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Madd Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Man I put that in backwards forever. It'll be fine. As always, do a leak down test though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKJLOW Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) What about this one Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Edited April 22, 2014 by RKJLOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I have heard that they aren't directional from a very reliable source. But everyone is different. I've also heard clutch steels and fibers are directional. So all depends who you talk to I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzodesign Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 PTO is backwards flywheel is good and yes you can re-use, did you apply grease to the seal where it rides the crank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Run it. I've done the same thing before when I was in a hurry and not paying attention. Once was in the turbo bike and it actually lasted better that way.. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Some steels have tapered tabs so they are others are not. Pto is backward. Some flywheel seals have green letters that go one way some have nothing distinguishing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKJLOW Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 its not even backwards! i split the case just out of shear frustration and thats the only way that first seal can go in. damn it i hate second guessing myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thats the worst. I did that with an aftermarket tranny bearring once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2004LEBanshee Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 A case bolt snapped? Dam those suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzodesign Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 if the PTO seal is installed backwards and the other side has a solid rubber ring (and some do) you need to turn it around, those notches are a breather for oiling the bearing, I learned along time ago things are not engineered and custom tooling made because Yamaha wants to waste money, they do things for a reason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
