fitting the sprocket

I then put my new drive sprocket on the shaft
looking good
Added the tab washer
Dont forget to bend the tab washer over the locking nut
one last thing when fitting the primary chain make sure the clip on the chain is blunt end facing the direction the chain moves

oil seal

Here i am fitting a new oil seal ....the old one is so badly rotted its stuck in its housing i had to use a heavy hand to remove it ....i also had to make sure everything was cleaned and grease free......the gaskets are new its not worth using the old ones as they are cheap to buy....

The seal did look ok until i started to investigate ......i recommend changing them if in doubt





Job done .......just take your time and follow your manual .....keep things clean and replace gaskets
