Crank seal problem

[York Racing]

I had one heck of a time getting my right crank seal out. Now that I finally have it out, I can't get the new one in. Any tricks to getting em in?

a hammer.......

you want to drive the whole thing in at the same time. also make sure you pack the grove where the spring is in the seal full of grease. A really big socket will work. or you can drill hole in a piece of wood that will fit over the crank shaft and then tap it in with a hammer

What spring? 151515151

there's a little spring on the lip of the seal

Oh yeah. On the inside of the seal? And what kind of grease?

 

[scotj77]

look inside the groove in the seal. there should be a spring in there. if not. it's a cheap seal

white lithium is prefered. I've used others though

So wheel bearing grease wont work? lol

any grease is better then no grease your just coating the seal for install

put red loctite on the outside edge of the seal, it will go in much easier and won't move when loctite dries.

chassis grease works good also on the spring

I just put nee bearings ang seals in mine and i used 2 stroke oil and pressed them in using a large socket that fit over thr crank.
