Re: countershaft sprocket seal leak


I haven't replaced one on an XL250 - but have replaced a lot of seals...

Avoid the screwdriver around the outside - at worst try to sneak the screwdrived in against the countershaft.

A trick I've used a bunch of times - drill some small holes in the meaty part of the seal (through the rubber and metal) - be careful!!! Screw some drywall screws into the holes in the seal and use pliers on them to pull the seal out. Hope this helps.
