lo-fi Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I've just taken the distance pieces (that the hub oil seal runs on) off for renewal and found black schmoo sealant of some kind beneath. Can't remember ever seeing this before. I've looked in the BGB, which has a lovely drawing of chiselling them off, but says nothing about refitting. Is this original, and if so, what? Or is it likely an over eager previous owner. The BGB mentions that they should be a press fit or oil will leak, so I suspect the former, but no harm in asking Cheers!

Retroanaconda Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I seem to recall some kind of sealant being required. They are a press fit however that won’t be 100% oil-tight so something else will be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo-fi Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Cheers, think I might pop a dab of bearing fit in there then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
