o ring behind flywheel oil seal

morning
i am changing my flywheel oil seal (t1)
the o ring behind the shims for end float adjustment is it changeable without splitting the case ?
if so how ?
i haven’t got my haynes book of lies with me and its not really gettable so i can’t look
thanks steve

 

Yep. It lives in the flywheel. No splitting necessary.

 

So does it sort of press it self in as the flywheel tightens up

 

It's inside the flywheel. The old will have squashed flat and be hard to see. dig it out.

 

I thought it was on the crankshaft behind the shims for the end float

 

Afraid you thought wrong old chap, it's inside the flywheel, to seal it onto the crank.

 

That'll do for me zed as is usually the case I was looking at the wrong hole
Done the oil seal a few times on this engine but never the o ring I ll have another look tonight thanks

 

Could be the answer then, 'tis recommended to change both at the same time.

 

It'll get changed tonight

 

It's an o-ring. No squishing.

 

where did you get your o ring from?

 

Coolair same as the oil seal

 

Ta - next big job as my gearbox flange is showing a wee bit of damp!!

 

O-rings come in the gasket set.

 

only in a gasket set (can you get seperately)

 

Yep
