    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm replacing several of the seals around the shifter/sprocket. I have everything out - but I'm having trouble getting the new oil seals in. I'm afraid I'm causing damage to the seals trying to get them back in. Does anyone know a good way to get the new OIL seals back in without damaging them?
 
Try using a deep socket wrench of a suitable diameter, and just tap them in. Works all the time.

use a little assembly lube on the seals it helps a lot. get it from a mechanic as they ussually have left overs from jobs(my brothers a boat mech) :wink:
 
Got em in

Got em in

Thanks for the advice, I was able to get the seals in and I think it took care of the oil leak. - At the very least it doesn't leak as much as it used to -

In the end I put the seals in hot water for awhile and used a hair dryer plus some oil around the edges to tap em in.....
