Re: KF 5 lower crankshaft seal

[Anonymous]

When I replaced the bottom seal, I did not remove the pivot tube. I worked though the tube to remove the two bolts that hold the cover and both bolts and cover came out the tube and then scraped the cover gasket from the block. Then disassemble the motor to remove the crank. Then tap the seal out the bottom of the block(do not damage the bottom crank bearing) and remove seal through the tube. Reverse the process by installing the seal back into the tube into the bottom of the block, tapping it into place.
