Title: Fitting new oil seal to dizzy Post by: Wookie 66 on May 07, 2021, 09:33:03 AM Good morning
I can’t find any info on fitting a new dizzy oil seal I bough on of the after market ones and the dizzy doesn’t seem want to drop in that last little bit The seal that came off seemed wider though it was flat and hard as a rock The new one seems thinner Any tricks I’m missing ? Any advice appreciated Thanks Title: Re: Fitting new oil seal to dizzy Post by: ardiesse on May 07, 2021, 09:48:26 AM Grease the seal well, and push down hard on the distributor body.

Have the mate regrease and lean really, really hard on the dizzy body (without busting anything fragile on or under the cap) until it drops in. Thank him.
... don't ask me how I know :-[ (and thanks again Rob). Cheers, Harv Title: Re: Fitting new oil seal to dizzy Post by: Wookie 66 on May 07, 2021, 12:06:23 PM Thanks
I get the idea now was not sure how much pressure to put on before I broke something else that I had to buy a new one Pss I don’t have any mates, well my son in law is a mechanic I’ll get him to look at Though he’s not very good unless it connects to a computer then he’s brilliant. Cheers |
