    Removing oil seal advice needed.

    Seems the 550 has taken up old Britbike manners. Park her in a friends driveway and she leaves a small puddle of oil... I'm pretty sure it's the oil seal on the final output shaft. Could use some advice on removing that seal. Thanks!

    I would check the clutch push rod seal first!

      If that is the seal that is leaking it may be a tough one. Some of the GS series bikes do not allow the removal of the output shaft seal unless you split the case.

          I agree with SqDancerLynn1: check the clutch pushrod seal. My 1981 550L was leaving a puddle of oil, and when I finally traced it down it came from the pushrod seal. About $10 at the dealer and easy to replace. No oil in the garage now. (at least from my bikes. The cars are a different matter).

            After reading Hap's post I really hope I have to go buy a clutch pushrod seal. I'll even eat the $16 bucks I spent on the other seal with a smile 'cuz
            I'm not splitting the cases... Just stick some BSA badges on her??
