New Starter Jackshaft Seal
Previous | Home | NextWhile I had the inner case off, I elected to replace the started jackshaft seal. The old seal design was superceded in 2004 with a new double-lip seal. It's obvious which way the seal goes into the case, but it's tricky to get it driven in straight and true. I used an appropriately-sized socket on the outer ring (of the other side of the seal than what is shown here), and tapped it in; making sure it was seated all the way around and not crooked. Then, I lubricated the inner surface and lips well with primary oil.
