Can anyone tell me how to replace the crank oil seal, the 1 behind the flywheel?
remove gearbox clutch and flywheel, prise out old seal gently with flat head screwdriver, push new seal in so it sits square and true
refit all the gubbins
done :lol:

Didn't know it was that simple 8)
Thought it might involve whipping the end cap off or something
Don't forget to drain the engine oil princess :wink:

make sure it seals, i've done mine twice now and it still leaks :roll:
dont prise it out with a flat head screwdriver, you may put a dirty score on the crank.
use 2 self tapping screws opposite each other, screw them in and then claw hammer the seal out.

Mine's on its third crank seal.....all instructions and advice followed exactly to make sure it fitted flat and true without any damage etc....and every friggin one has still leaked. So I've given up!
Also make sure its JUST sitting flush with the housing, DONT push it all the way in, or else it will leak.
cardboard and duck tape every time :D :D
i just coated the edges in tiger seal, that stopped the fecker :lol:
