    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

so the seal around what i would call the throw out rod on my 81 550 is leaking its the small shaft right in front of the drive shaft the sprocket goes onto its only about 1/4 in diameter my question, is this seal something that can be removed and replaced without having to split my block? because it is such a small leak i probably wouldnt worry about it if it werent for the fact that its covering my rear tire with oil :(
 
Yes, you can replace it without too much difficulty. The clutch pushrod itself pulls out though the clutch side of the engine (RH side) so please be aware - seal comes out on LH side though as you might imagine.

There are several thread on this exact topic so you might want to try a search (advance search, using Titles Only) to hone in more on the details.

Good luck.
 
Just to help out Cody here because I'm still waiting on some other seals before doing mine as well.

Do you HAVE to remove the pushrod to replace its seal or can you do it all without taking the clutch cover off as well?
 
maaan i hope i can do it without breaking everything down :pray:
