Not sure 100% what you are talking about so sort of just signed on. You referring to the inner seal between engine and primary up behind front sprocket in primary that sits inside the stator flange?

There are actually 2 or 3 seals there. A inner and outer and the quad seal. Think you need to lock transmission and remove drive pulley to get them all. Been a while and do not have my manual with me. If it were me I would probably just leave it till I had to do it if I were doing my own work unless I planned a across the country trip. Worst think it will do is start to drip unless you are rough on it and drive the inner race into it.

What did your inner primary bearing and race look like? Mine still looked like new at 40K when I was in there.
