357 crank Seal leak

[canepole]

husqvarna 357 crank seal leaking around bore on flywheel side. Changed seal 2x no luck. Any tricks?

Coat outside of seal with 518 and dont pressurize for 24 hrs see if that helps

I forgot too add when you install seal not when seals already installed 518 harden in the absence of air

Looks like it will be seal #3.

Clean the surfaces real good with brake cleaner if you're going to use 518.

How did seal work out ?

The 518 fixed the seal. The I found another leak at the intake clamp. It has a metal clamp. Just reworked it. Letting it set up. Will check later in the week.

Thanks for the tip on fixing the seal.
