Final Drive Seal
Laverda Dave:
If you need a hand Andy let me know, happy to provide some lifting power to get the engine out (and back in).👍
AndyD:
Thanks Dave,
I may well take you up on the offer if that's OK - always fiddly getting the lump in and out without damaging all the shiny stuff!
I'll get the bits needed and try and formulate some kind of plan.
Cheers,
Andy
Laverda Dave:
No problem Andy, I'll be glad to help and with both of us on it we can hopefully get it out and back in within a day. A lot of effort to undo a few bolts to replace a seal worth £10 but worth doing properly just for piece of mind👍
AndyD:
Thanks Dave,
I'm just thinking if I'll need to order any other bits beyond the oil seal for this.
If only going in from the underside (i.e top end untouched) I'm hoping the other oil seals etc. affected when splitting the crankcases can just be retained.
I'll have a study of the parts drawings and photos to see what could be affected.
Cheers,
Andy
Laverda Dave:
Hi Andy.
You'll likey need some Hondabond to rejoin the cases and some cellulose to clean the old hondabond off. Trouble is Hondabond goes off in the tube once opened, the tube I bought a couple of years ago was rock solid when it came to refitting my 400 cases, luckily I was able to to cut the tube open and rescue some from deep within the tube using a thin brush. You may need new gaskets for the side casings but if the bike hasn't been run they should be OK.
