- Never use an abrasive or polishing cloth or brushes with metal bristles on the sealing surface of the crankshaft flange!
- Carefully remove small edges or burrs on the chamfer of the crankshaft flange with an oilstone. Then, carefully degrease the crankshaft journal and crankcase bore (e.g. using a clean, lint-free cloth that has been soaked in solvent naphtha or acetone). Blow dry using a low air pressure (. 0.5 bar) or ventilate.NOTE:
- The serial spindle sealing ring is pressed 11 mm in, measured from the end of the flange. The new sealing ring is pressed 13 mm in using the special tool insertion tool 9699 in order to generate a new running track.
- If the crankshaft flange is corroded, clean it as follows:
- Press the old crankshaft sealing ring in further with the special tool insertion tool 9699 in the same way as you would install a new sealing ring.
- Clean the crankshaft flange with a special metal-polishing pad (e.g. Nevr Dull , available in car and motor bike accessory stores). Then, carefully degrease the flange (e.g. using a clean, lint-free cloth that has been soaked in solvent naphtha or acetone).
- Replace the crankshaft sealing ring as described below.
- Spot drill the crankshaft sealing ring on the front -arrow- with a 3-mm drill bit, grease the drill bit beforehand.
- Screw sheetmetal screw (5 x 20) with washer approx. 5 mm into the bore.
- Pull out the sealing ring with the puller 9237 -arrow- .
