Mine is getting on 23yrs old 8O

I have never replaced one of these mechanical seals, how difficult are they to do :?:

Chris.
This will be the first one for me. It doesn't look too tough and I am hoping my small arbor press will be able to do the job :thumbup:
I hope it all turns out well, do let me know how it goes :?:

Not today but Thursday.

after 38yrs in the automotive industry I retiredImageImageImage.

I spent most of last week partying and saying goodbye, and this was one of the gifts they made for me.

90% of the parts are from Lucas / TRW / ZF products I have been involved with.

F**king cool
Image

There is a lamp (chrome fog lamp) above the bike.

Happy retirement Al, only downside I've found with retirement is you never get a day off
