Like you guys said, it’s a long way in there to change the sprocket and install the new high gear seal. Leaving the old seal on the main shaft? Why not spend the $2.00 and a bit of labor to make sure your clutch stays oil free?
Wasn't that something, well looking back we purchased that from eBay and it was new I feel it was luck of the draw when it was shipped out to us, I would hate to say the reputable seller would be selling junk, it was most likely a one off machining error,

@@markthompson242 That's a good tip and I will do that the next time I'm in a Trident for a sprocket change, but as I think back about it the screws went in tight and the last one was hard to get started. I didn't think there was any movement so I thought it self centered.

Thanks for that! By the way, who supplied the wonky front sprocket from the UK?

Do you have a part number for the oil seal housing gasket @7:24 ? It is not even called out in the parts manual.

@@jessesvintagegarage765 Thanks for your prompt reply Jesse. I am currently restoring a '74 T150v as well and glad I found your page.
Or forget the gasket and use Loctite Gasket Eliminator. There were two sizes of seal used depending upon year.
next time try putting the sprocket on temporarily to centralise the seal before you tighten it.
