Crank seals
Are crank seals a difficult job to do? Got a small oil leak from the gearbox area was just wondering if it was a fairly easy DIY job

Re: Crank seals
have you bought the seals yet ?Kwakboy wrote:Are crank seals a difficult job to do? Got a small oil leak from the gearbox area was just wondering if it was a fairly easy DIY job
if yes who from ?
i got a set this week from bdk and they were £70 including vat and post for all 4
then i discoverd i might need the centre shaft so just orderd that at nearly £75
but while the crank is out i might as well get it done the 2 middle bearings can move slightly on the shaft
and as a known weak point of the kr1 series im changing it while its getting stripped £45 for strip and re-build
thats if the rebuild bloke says it needs doing
