Hey Guys,
Finally got my KDX 250 92" cleaned up and started although I now have a front sprocket oil seal leak. I have a new seal ready to go in only problem I cant take the old one out? I tried prying it out with an hex key but it wont budge, it's moved out a little but not much.
Does anyone have any suggestions / proven processes?
Cheers
Mike

Front Socket Oil Seal Removal
Never mind got it out with a flat head screw driver by holding it on an angle, came out second tap. Do I need to grease or oil the new seal though? Saw on-line some guys just use engine oil on the new one then tap it in, is this ok?

I know you already have the seal changed but I have one of these that works great for changing seals with any kind of shaft in the hole.

Re: Front Socket Oil Seal Removal
Seal is in (TAP TAP TAP). I figured out I needed two O rings as well. There were none when I took the old seal out, it was as though they has disintegrated.
