hi all
i am going to replace the bottom seal on a rover which has a suzuki on it, just wondering if the boss on the crank is on a key. i thought it might be but not sure, i have given it heaps of crc tonight and was going to lay it on the anvil in the morning.just wondering if this is the way to go or not
thanks micka

micka,

On most engine shafts the best way to remove the blade plate boss is as follows:

1. Clean the crankshaft with emery paper towards the engine.

2. After cleaning and the shaft is shiny, you then tap the boss towards the engine.

3. Once you have done that then remove the key in the shaft.

4. Then clean the shaft with emery paper till it is shiny.

5. Remove the boss and then remove the seal.

Also use some WD40 before you remove the boss (after cleaning).

thanks bruce i replaced the seal this morning with no probs and it started up on the second or third go thanks micka

micka,

Good to see you got the old girl working without much cost.
