125-200cc Gear selector shaft oil seal

Hi,

I have a slight leak on a 2004 CR125, I have the replacement seal and just wondering what the best course of action is?

Is it as simple as pulling the old seal with a couple of screws and pressing in the new one with a socket or piece of tube? Or is there more to it?

Thanks

That's the right technique. Just ensure the shaft is smooth and not grooved or damaged, check the housing is damage free as well. If the housing has minor damage you can use some non hardening gasket paste (permatex) on the seal outer. Make sure that the shaft doesn't have too much movement in the housings bore too, unlikely but possible. Not a bad idea to protect the seal from getting damaged when sliding over the spline to cover the spline with some electrical tape or a piece of plastic bag.
Don't forget to lube the shaft.

Excellent! Thank you

All done and was a five minute job!
