pitbull63 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Stupid question but would it be possible to change the front oil seal on a petrol series 3 lump without splitting the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull63 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 The only stupid question is the one that isn't asked... Thats deep Anyone enlighten me on how I could do it please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty oh no Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Remove the pulley from the end of the crankshaft. You then have a cover that sits in front of it, remove that cover by either drilling out the rivets that hold it in place or undo the screws that they have been replaced with. You then can remove and replace the seal. When replacing the cover I would suggest tapping out he holes in the crankcase and fixing with screws incase it ever needs doing again. Was that the answer to the question that was not asked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
