Ok so I got one of these


to fix this


my question is... How do I get in there to replace it?

If you look on the collar on the shaft behind where you've got the red circle you'll see a pin through the collar vertically . On the front end of the same collar there's a pin through horizontally (not too clear in your photo) , knock this pin (put the gear into 2nd , 4th or reverse , so the rod is all the way in) out with a punch that's similar size , not smaller as the pin's hollow . Once this is out , pull the rod change back and the rod with the collar will come away from the gearbox . Then with a small screwdriver pull the old seal out and follow Matt's instructions to fit the new one .

Cool thanks

Can't seem to find anything that is easy to get into position. The exhaust bracket is in the way too. What do you use?

Put it into Reverse then use a BFH and a 3/16" pin punch to knock the front pin out of the shaft.
If exhaust is in the way, drop it off.

Tools are pretty limited (no garage to store them in)... will see what I can find. Thanks

This is f'd!!! Been using 5.5 and 5mm drill bits and it's move a bit but just can't get into a good enough pos to give it a good whack

Finally got it... but whoever put that pin there should be SHOT!!!!!!

Go buy a proper set of pin punches, Chinese or Indian are OK and CHEAP!

Are those black circles in the first pick the proper seals? Do I really need to remove the old seal? Can I just put the silver one in and be done with it? My neck's getting sore

Tried for over an hour... couldn't get the seal to move. Any suggestions?

Since you've spent the money on a decent knew seal (O-ringed doover , we'll call it a seal) you might as well do it right and remove the old seal , best is normally a fine pin punch or similar into the mid section of the seal , not the outer edge and not the inner edge of the hole where the rod goes but into the "meat" in the middle . Once you've squashed it a bit you should be able to get a bite on it with the punch and lever it out . Once you've got it out check there isn't another one inside , the old trick used to be jam a second one in on top of the old one for a better seal , sometimes it works , sometimes it falls out again ...

If all else fails there is room in there for up to 4 seals on top of each other.
BL must have anticipated the leak problems!

How far should i be able to stick a small screwdriver in after i removed it? I stick one in but it only goes in about 3 x the thickness of the seal.

BTW I bent nearly ALL of my small screwdrivers trying to get the f'r out

edit: and what do you all use to knock it in with?

Got your PM and replied Marvin
