- This is really the worst thing I have done to the bike. Cannot be satisfied qith it at all. After starting the engine it will show up whether it worked or not. if not, i will have to buy the rear engine cover and rebuild....
Update after 300km of riding ... still ok. no oil leaks to coolant, no leaks of water to oil.
If my work on sea taught me anything, its that you DONT touch the sealing service of a mechanical seal. The grease will burn it up and it will fail early.
To anyone else needing to replace the older smaller mechanical seals on their CX go with the "sheps" method so you don't have to replace the metal cup of the seal. Its a much easier and better way.
The old seal hub should stay put and the new seal fits inside the old one.
Where did you get tye part
Ebay
Hi! good work. Do you remember what kind of seal did you buy for the water Puma cover instesd of original one? The regular one? Thanks
use a little bit of dish soap to lubricate the mechanical seal mating surface or even straight coolant should work.
How did that work for you? The mechanical seal is supposed to be a press fit. It looks like you sanded out the hole too much so it doesn't fit tight anymore. Curious if it leaked or not?
Art Henschell well, dont know yet as the engine is disassembled completely at the moment. I hope within a month i will be able to start it. But as for the press fit... I filled the gaps between with sort of a silicone (that is used instead of an engine seal) and it looks fine. This part is not gonna leak at all. What i am concerned about is the installation and torque needed to tighten the impeller/pump on it so that it works fine..
Art Henschell hi 300km so far and no leaks, works fine... So maybe luck, maybe a good way to fit different size seal. I dont know...
The bigger seal is for CX 500 Euro, Turbo and GL 500. You should buy the right one at your Honda-dealer. It is expensive, but it fits better.
The smaller seal is no longer available. Others recommend using a small flapper wheel to remove just enough material to keep a pressed fit. That being said, I'm sure what he did will work, It would take a lot to spin that cup in the adhesive he used...never will spin.
Hello friend Im from Mexico, where can I buy the mechanical seal and the impeller honda cx500 deluxe? Nice day
Hi, I bought it on ebay. As for the impeller... Its not in production any more, so searching ebay again...

@@robsworldcz chtělo to dát na frézku a protočit s přesahem,takhle volně a jen to zalepit silikonem to bych se bál že se to protočí.no hlavně že to neteče
