Oil Seal...?

How can i prise out a small oil seal (gear lever shaft) which i suspect s the problem of an oil leak i have, screwdriver ec. doesnt seem to budge it? Preferably without having to take shaft out?





Also, should the magneto/generator be covered with oil or be farely dry as i have an oil leak coming from the magneto/gear change side of my bike and am unsure wether this is normal?








Thanks..

The oil seal is a simple push fit. Prise it out with a screwdriver, it may have been ';glued'; in with silicon or loctite.





The generator housing should have no oil in it. It may be that someone has put oil on it to prevent it rusting which is a common problem.


Blown crank seals will not allow oil into the gen as the oil is contained in the primary drive case on the other side of the motor.


However if the chain has come off at some time and made an hole in the gearbox case.................





or it could just be the neutral switch.Oil Seal...?
TS 50 /185/250 all are 2 strokes so no oil should be coming out of the crank case to contaminate the magneto.As far as the oil seal check the diameter of the new seal the case may have a lip on it so it may have to go inwards so having to split the gear case.The 185 had oil injection to the crank the pipe may be split worth a look
oil on your mag is not a good thing! sounds like a crank seal, removing without dissassembly can be done,but very very carefully( i strongly advise you let a pro do this) drill small hole in face of seal, if you drill to deep and hit bearing game over! insert self tapping screw attached to slide hammer remove seal,sounds simple huh? to install, lube inside dia.of new seal Vaseline works well use piece of pipe longer than shaft slightly smaller than outside dia.of seal gently and evenly tap in new seal good luck.
