HELP!!!! Coolant in OIL question

<< < (2/2)

Paul:
The leak is MOST likely because the o-ring is shot, That seal very rarely leaks. Once you have the sprocket off you'll see how all that fits together. Very easy fix, but as always... IF you get stuck post a note and we'll get you taken care of.

--- Quote from: kawman ---:o   Excellent.  Thanks for the advice.  I will replace the O-ring shortly.  Now how about the sprocket shaft seal.  Obviously, it is leaking because of the oil level increase but is it faulty?  Can this seal be changed without splitting the case?  Thanks! :?:

Can that seal for the sprocket shaft be changed without splitting the case?

Rick:
Yes.  Pull the counter shaft sprocket, pull out the steel spacer, and reach in with a dental tool to snag the o-ring.  Will take you about 20 minutes, tops.

kawman:
I pulled the side panel off and I see that the seal itself looks rough.  I have attempted to pull the shaft to the inside but can't get it to budge.  Should it be this tight?  Also, I am seeing a black gasket paste around the main bearing on this side.  Is this good, bad, or what.  Thanks for your help.

kawman:
I figured it out.  I pulled the water pump bearings off the shaft because one was rough rolling.  Anyone know how much Kaw charges for these or if there available from someone else?  The sprocket shaft should be a problem...Thanks! :lol:
