Fitting the club improved chaincase seal

Post by G12atlast_LAPSED »

Looking forward to replacing the leaky old one. :)

I have the club seal but wondered where best to place the join for max oil tightness (perhaps a dab of silicone on the ends too?) And should I tighten the seal retaining strap or the chaincase central nut first?

Cheers,

Simon

Glue the ends if you like, I don't bother. Assemble carefully and most important, don't put too much oil in. It only needs just enough to barely touch the bottom of the chain.

Centre nut finger tight, band on, tap around with rubber mallet as you tighten band. Tighten centre nut. Pray to the chaincase gods! :D
