Replacing oil seals
« on: June 21, 2018, 08:19:14 PM »
I'm preparing to replace the gearshift spindle and clutch pushrod oil seals on my CB500K1.
Can I just press them in "dry" or do I put some sealant around the outside of the oil seal.
If the latter, which sealant?  TIA

Thoroughly clean the dirt off .... press em in dry they will be tight fit, that will seal.... no sealant
