STIHL makes a seal puller for their chainsaws, it’s a 2 jaw puller style with 8 different sets of jaws. Expensive but very nice, the aftermarket knockoff is $99
Darn it Dave, I just did the clutch side crank seal on my ‘18 250 XCW carb bike and I didn’t think about that spring. You made me go dig in the trash for it and make sure the spring was still on it! 🤣. I also might suggest dressing the edges on your seal puller. It is easy to scratch the crank with the sharp edges. Are there any better tools to safely pull a crank seal?
Having just replaced the crank seals on my 23 300 I had run into an old issue, the O.D of the seals are not coated so they can score the seal bore of the crank case during install. When I pulled the clutch side seal which was installed at the factory the bore was scored badly and required clean up and some sealer to the bore before installing a new seal.
A lot of these kms are assembled at the same place that does zero motorcycles and I'm sure some others, in the phillipines. I know one person who lives in manilla and they get $2 an hour. So you get what you pay for sometimes. Luckily, a lot of them run great and seem to have no problems
i had the clutch side seal fall out. The new one pressed in still pretty tight, but I used some bearing retaining compound (similar to loctite) just in case.
@@therawlifefamily Not a fan of the seals they are using that are bare metal on the O.D of the seal. I'm kicking myself for not going to my local bearing supplier and getting an NOK seal which has bonded seal material on O.D of seal. They don't score up the seal bore when installed and seal tight to the case.
