thats about the only thing i have heard of for installing seals is to use a large socket that matches the outside diameter of the bearing.. you just have to be carefull when hitting it in.. and make sure the socket relly is big enough, if its to small youll pinch the casing onto the balls and f it up which sounds like you already did haha [baldy]snowolf said:trying to replace chaincase seals in an 02 600 classic.
already dicked up 2 seals trying to install. used socket that fits but still distorts the metal.
at $10 a crack for seals i want to do this once. case is out of sled.

Freezing it will help, but you gotta be quick about it. Leave it in for a good half-hour. Green coating is a sealer so oil doesn't leak past outside edge.snowolf said:bearings are in already. just having a heck of time with replacement seals(ones with spring-ring). green edge coating is for some purpose. maybe i should freeze them before installing.....
