Hey everyone, went riding this Sunday and when I returned home I noticed that there was oil around the shifter and behind the front sprocket. Took the sprocket off yesterday and found the issue. Oil is seeping out of the counter shaft seal. Already ordered the new replacement kit from rockymountain and it’ll be here tomorrow, just wondering if anyone has step by step pictures or a video of how to replace the seal? Thanks in advance
And replace the O-ring, install the shaft sleeve & press the new seal in with your fingers or use a large socket to gently tap the new seal into place if needed...???
Thanks for the reply! My only question is, in all of the videos I’ve seen how to do the replacement, the seal is flush with the case, but on my quad it seems like it’s pushed back and the snap ring is holding the seal itself in. Is that correct?
I recently did mine and that snap ring sucks! The one in the kit is a different design and should be easier to remove @Dust Devil I recently replaced mine and it came with 2 orings. But i believe I only used one?
I didn’t want to pry anything up against the side of the case to bend the snap ring out. I tried pulling the spacer out first to give myself more room for the snap ring but it wouldn’t budge. What’s the order of taking it apart? Bend snap ring, seal, spacer? Or snap ring, spacer and then seal?
I have no room behind this snap ring im about to set the whole quad on fire and start over fresh
