Crankshaft front seal and wear sleeve
To renew Operation 5-2
Special requirements
To remove
1 Remove the vibration damper, Operation 5-4.
Note: The crankshaft front seal and wear sleeve are supplied as a set and must be installed as a set. If a seal
is renewed, the wear sleeve must also be renewed.
2 Drill three holes (A2) at an equal distance around the circumference of the seal. Fit self-tapping screws (A1),
complete with washers if necessary, to the holes and use a screwdriver as a lever to remove the seal from the
crankcase. Ensure that the gear case does not become damaged during this operation.
3 Fit the distorter protection ring (B1), GE50010, to the seal bore and at the same depth as the wear sleeve.
The distorter ring is fitted to protect the seal bore in the crankcase during the removal of the wear sleeve.
4 Insert the distorter tool (B2), GE50011, between the protection ring and the wear sleeve. With the sharp
edge of the tool against the wear sleeve, use a socket and spanner to rotate the distorter and cause a crease
to form in the wear sleeve. Repeat this procedure in three or more places until the wear sleeve becomes loose
on the crankshaft.
5 Remove the distorter tool, the protection ring and the wear sleeve.
