Just because you're a grandad now, doesn't mean you have to listen to the archers rich!

I tried to install new seal with a socket, now wish I had made up a special tool in the lathe.

 

New seal cracked, they are very fragile, have ordered another one.

 

How much play is OK in the main needle rollers, I can feel a very slight amount of play if I wiggle the clutch side of the crankcase.

 

I am assuming that any play is too much, and have ordered new bearings, is this wise or am I being a bit fussy?

not really. side ways is ok if a littler. up and down is a no no.

 

should have said go on simplybearings.co.uk.

 

in my experience the stihl ones are pants, and i have had them break on me.

yeah sorry about that.

 

you should be able to find what you need for any of those seagull engines aswell. its a top site.

I have ordered some of these as well

 

12x20x5mm Nitrile Rubber Rotary Shaft Oil Seal with Garter Spring R23 / TC Simply Bearings Ltd

 

Are these the ones you meant?

 

I do have an account at simply bearings, very good service, have used them a lot for bearings and seals in Yamaha outboards.

P.S. I did look at the Stihl ones closely, and the single bent back lip may give a longer life than the single lip Nitrile type, time will tell. I was shocked by how brittle the Stihl seals are Nitrile ones are far more user friendly.
