Ok I'm hoping the pic uploads but if I remove the bolt ( yellow ) will the shift rod slide out ( red ) I believe this is my oil leak

 

any have any input of the level of difficulty in replacing this oil seal??

 

ok so i identified that its a bearing needle and an oil seal. anyone has any experiance in replacing this?

 

ok so i took the basket out and lost some blood in the process. removed the bearing thats leaking and waiting on new parts. in the pictures im going to attach.. is that chain supposed to have slack? what is this chain called? and in the other pic which hole do i stick the screw driver in to align the stars? fellas please help me out here. and is there anything else i should check while im at this point??

 

1) Remove that bolt and take away the cover bracket. Take an old wood screw and lightly screw it into the old seal. Once it's threaded in by a few threads, pull it out. Replace seal. Replace bracket and bolt.

**Be careful not screw up any of the casing where the seal seats (otherwise it'll leak).

DO NOT REMOVE THE SHIFT SPLINE. Behind the basket, you'll see a mechanism that is helping to hold it in place, and it's holding your shift forks! So - DON'T MOVE IT!


2)Yes, that chain will have some slack. It's okay. That is what's driving your oil pump which also drives your water pump. So, you can call it the oil pump chain.

3)You need to align the scissor gears on the primary gear. You need to use "hole 4" to align it. Rotate the motor until you see a hole in the crank primary gear and then that the scissor gear that is blocking a little bit of it. Take a Philips screw driver and use it to align the gears. There are springs in the primary and scissor gear assembly that you're in essence pushing together on with the screw driver to line it up. It's in the manual.

**Holes 5,6,and 7 are part of your transmission. That's part of the mechanism that's holding your shift spline in place.



Basically, make sure everything is working as it should. Make sure you can rotate that the motor and visibly see the oil pump is moving when it goes back together. It will be very apparent if it's not going together correctly.

Don't force anything. Go slow. Don't be left with any "spare parts".

 

Here is a pic showing how to align the scissor gear on the crank.

 

I'm having a hard time finding the correct hole.

 

Ok these are the holes.. which hole am i sticking my screw driver in and applying pressure to move???

 

ok i figured it out had to rotate the engine and apply pressure to the screwdriver together to move itand slide the basket into place all at once. thanks for all the help fellas
