Topic: 1975 cb550k1 shifter shaft seal replacement help

[JDrider]

So semi good news.
The leak isn’t coming from the shift shaft seal I replaced.
It’s very hard to see where it is coming from.
I think the pump area.
I’ll post some pictures so you guys can see.
Maybe you guys can let me know what I need to do to fix the leaks.
Thanks.

The oil pump seals.

I ordered the o rings and a new oil sender

[bryanj]

Where did you order from as the cover O ring is not listed anywhere

Bit of advice, you need to use an impact driver to undo the 3 countersunk cover screws BEFORR taking the pump off the bike(also impact driver)
If bike is vertical oil will not leak out

[JDrider]

I don’t think the cover is leaking so I don’t plan to open that.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

Its more often the cover than the pump to block ones

[dave500]

ive had the pump to block ones leak but never the cap.

[bryanj]

Mostly the other way round here Dave, especially if the motor has been sat for a long time

[JDrider]

Bryan do those o rings look good to use?
Thanks

Cant tell from a photo but if sold retail as a kit i would hope so with the litidgeous nature of the USA
