Old cable. Note much smaller adjustment spring. Also note I installed the lower installation red clip from the new cable. This keeps the connector from pulling out (when the adjustment clip is out / not engaged).

Success! New seal installed. I used a brass drift to install the seal going around the edge till it was seated. A lot of labor for a $4 part!

Another pic of the bore prior to deburring and cleaning the bore. There is an air gap between the seal and the crank bearing. The deck screw trick may be a better option.

Removal complete. You can see where I nicked the edge of the bore on the right with the seal removal tool.

Old seal (I'm guessing the same one from the factory. I have no records of it ever being replaced).

Using a seal removal tool. I should have taken better care and not scratched the aluminum bore. It's open space so does not appear to be critical. I deburred and cleaned the bore prior to reinstallation

I cracked one of the magnets removing the rotor when I angled it off of the splined shaft. This cost me over $200 to replace and double the parts to do the intended job.
