044 flywheel side seal is leaking. Any suggestions on removing the little prick without mucking up the case? Not a lot of room in there and I don't have the Stihl puller. Does the MS460 take the same seal? Looks the same to me...

Same seal, I usually bjust split them, better safe then sorry

What are you using to split them? I generally do a full rebuild when replacing seals but this one is leaking on the case side so I think I can get away with just a seal for awhile.

I just use a screwdriver with notch ground in. Works on 026 which is small too on flywheel side

I use the husky splitter, allows you to do a full check on the bearings while you are there, costs you a new gasket and I always put booth selas in when I do it too, peace of mind.

Tap the one side of the seal in further so it's sitting a little cocked on the bore then use a screwdriver with a notch to pop the little bastid right out.

Thanks for the explanation Mike. I've pulled a lot of seals but that fugger is small and I don't wanna scratch the bore. I'll give it a shot...

I'll likely do both seals. I don't have that splitter either. I've always punched a screw through them but that ain't happening on this one. Lol

Thank you

At least when replacing booth seals you can inspect the bearings then.

 

[beaglebriar]

Closer inspection.. looks like someone has replaced it before and did a half assed job.

 

[beaglebriar]

Easier than I expected... thanks fellas!

If the bore gets scratched you can put a light coat of 518 on the outside of the seal before you tap it home. I typically put the 518 on regardless just to be safe.

It's easy to bugger the lip. The seal tool helps to get it in straight and to depth

I do the same. Makes them go in easier too I think. [emoji106]

 

[usmcbuckwild]

I always use a little sealant or some loctite on the outside of the seal when they go in. Piece of mind. Oh, and a drop of Marvel Mystery Oil on the lips of the seal as well
