I'm working on another problem that is indicating I may have a top crank shaft seal leaking. I'm considering changing this if it's as easy as I believe?
- remove flywheel + Stator and trigger.
- Pierce the metal on the old seal and pry out/insert screw in holes to pull up.
- Clean, etc. align, lube and press in with a suitable socket or custom made wood mandrel.
I've done many of these types of seal before - I just want to be sure the seal is removable without splitting the crankcase.. Pics or seal seams to indicate a pull out and push in style (i.e. no trapped lip).
