replacing crank seals question

[cycojon]

i am replacing the top end on my 62T/61X because it was worn out, i read alot about air leaks caused by old crank seals...

what needs to be taken off to replace the crank seals? i would guess, the flywheel, and the coupler? i already have my motor out and top end off so...

i shouldn't have to split the cases right?

anything else i should look at? the reeds are new, i might as well replace carb base gaskets and intake gaskets while im there, but the crank bearings feel great as well as the rod bearings.

thanks!

yes you have to split the cases to do crank seals

I heard someone say you can replace the front seal w/o taking apart the cases.

No way.

Its impossible! you can do it without removing the topend by placing the motor upside down and splitting the cases that way.

I am sure you could beat a seal in without splitting the cases .I am also equally sure you would destroy it in the process.

ya, the lip sits in a groove. try to pull one out or put one in and youll surely destroy it, if the cases arent split.
