Crank seal look ok?

Featured Replies

I have fitted a new seal on the front crank, but it leaking for some reason might have done something wrong. So I took it off and went through it again put another new seal, I hope it looks ok, or do I need to tap in a bit further?

Thanks.

Bit hard to see but maybe the second picture shows a slightly raised section of the crank. The seal is only just on that. On that basis Id tap it in a bit more.

However, you really need to check the shaft for a worn groove, as that won't be helping and can well be the main cause

I have tapped a bit more, no leaking so far, thanks! I was a bit afraid to tap a bit more cause it went in too far, like on my old Punto, it was tough to remove when it pushed too deep and reapply the new seal again.

Merry Christmas.
