    Kickstart shaft seal needed, and how to replace?

    when levering the old seal out, use a chunk of wood between the seal and case. on re-install, lube the seal with the same oil u use in the motor. then a socket the appropriate size to push the new one in. light taps with a hammer to socket to seal will get it done.
