My riding buddy has an oil leak from seal behind the front sprocket, on his 2005 gas gas 280, obviously he wants to change it. Is there an easy way to get the seal out without doing any damage to engine casing? cheers in advance.

Wow 63 views, and nobody can help out, I will have to trawl net.

I was just viewing to see if there were any replies yet.

Allright.. Allright..

I have a left engine casing lying around somewhere. Give me half an hour and I will try to find it..

Found it..

There is nothing stopping the seal from coming outwards. If You are able to get a grip on the seal it should be possible to get it out. Maybe with a couple of very thin wood screws or something.

Hope this helps..

Forget mincing about, hammer and chisel it out. If that fails simply replace the engine with 2010 model sure fix
