CB350F Fuel cap

(1/3) > >>

royhall:
I need to replace the seal on the 350 fuel cap. Have already taken the old one off which may have been a mistake. As well as the sprung portion there appears to be a loose washer underneath, I assume the loose washer goes inside the seal as well.

Is there a trick for getting these rubber seals on as it is extremely fiddly.

Also, whats the best way to open up the new rivet ends?

Thanks.

mike the bike:
best way with seals is to dunk them in boiling water for a bit to make them supply, add a smear of washing up liquid and they'll go on easy. 
If you're trying to close up a new rivet, try using a centre punch to splay the edges.

gtmdriver:
I did mine quite easily.

You certainly don't have to dismantle anything.

Just tilt  and rotate the sprung disc and feed the rubber found the perimeter.

royhall:
What about the loose washer behind? Does that go into the seal groove or does it just sit behind the seal. Cheers.

Bullit:
Do you have any idea how to remove the cap if you don't have the key?
