I’m losing my mind on this
First I order a preassmbled seal kit from over seas that cost me 120 dollars.. the lip on the seal was .1 too big and I ended up having to destroy it to remove it from the cases. My bad, shouldn’t have assumed a 120 dollar part would be machined to spec, next time I’ll check
!
So I order another set of 45 dollar crank seals, spend 5 hours trying to get the front seal into this beautiful piece of engineering and end up ripping the lip clean off the seal.
I now have not one but TWO sets of BRAND NEW real seals that I can’t get single front seal replacements for
I have tried heating the ring, freezing the seal, a press, lube, giving the seal a firm lecturing. I cannot for the life of me find a single ounce of information on this process or for that matter the seals.
Dasa tells me “it might be hard but it’ll press out” ok sure, I sure can press the old seals out and absolutely obliterate them in the process.
I’m seeing no solution to this outside of having a two piece ring made with mating surfaces like the cases themselves
Before I spend another 2-300 on doing this can ANYONE tell me if they’ve ever done this before.
Thanks
