Re: Lightweight gearbox removal & overhaul

I can confirm that the oil seal from Villiers Services is indeed the correct fit.
Thanks again clanger9.
With your brilliant step by step guide, the link to Villiers website and the help from Ozmadman & Steve S, I have finally rebuilt my leaky gearbox.
I think the hardest part was removing the gearbox & putting it back in again!
So far I have only run the bike down the drive & back but all gears are selecting perfectly.
I replaced the 18 tooth sprocket with a 19 tooth one that I had from a G2 box which I bought for spares.
Ozmadman, I am interested to hear your thoughts on the 20 tooth sprocket?
Hope to get an MOT later in the week and get her on the open road to see if my repairs hold up!
Thanks again guys, I couldn't have done this without your help
