I am about to change the "o-ring" from the inner primary due to a leak. I've tried to clean the area underneath the inner primary (where the "o-ring" would be located) and have yet to pin-point exactly where the leak is coming from. I may get a "drop" of oil every now and then, but nothing I feel concerned with. I just don't like the "leak", and looking to fix it.

Anyone out there have any advice? I usually try to do things myself to save money, but this being my "baby", if there's something out there I need to be aware of in doing the exchange, please let me know.

Thx

 

Removing the inner primary means removing the compensator, primary chain and clutch. To do this easily you will need some tools, red loctite, and a torque wrench. Just follow the manual and you should be alright. Just a hint, the O-ring area needs to be super clean to prevent a leak. Hope this helps.

 

"miacycles", thanks for the advice. I haven't begun the project yet, and wanted to make sure I took every precaution necessary. I have all the items you mentioned I need, and will pick a weekend when I have nothing else to do...that might be a while...I married! :-) Thanks again.
