💦 KICKSTART SEAL

[1957M30]

Am sure this topic has been discussed fully already but am wondering if a leaking seal
On a Burman Box can be replaced from the outside without dismantling the gearbox cover ❓
or does it have to be pressed out ❓

or even God forbid....... Be left alone as is and wiped up occasionally Due to the level to the
plug on the left being just above the lower level of the seal ❓

Current wisdom 🤔on this after will be greatly received and am now baking 🍪 biscuits to hand out

Regards

Can be replaced from the outside ( from inside on AMC boxes). But. if the kick start shaft steel bush is badly worn the seal might not last very long. Good idea to wrap some insulating tape around the shaft splines to protect the seal lip when fitting.

thanks for the info
used to be able to change them externally on my ole Beezer, glad to hear its a simple job (if there ever is such a thing !)
I guess club spares will do the part ?

cheers

seem to have found the 💦 seals here also:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/sourcingmap-18 ... m+oil+seal

there are lots of other sources but they all want more than double the postage for the price of the seal.

Probably because it has to go as small package/parcel rate not as a letter.

That would be my plan.
