Realizing I could replace the seals without splitting the cases is awesome! Big time saver. Getting the seals in the right depth, not at an angle, cleaning the pto/crank shaft and leak down testing are key but... Now she fires and runs and idles. I show how to do both sides in this video.
These seals wouldn't hold 5psi for 5 seconds. Don't let your quad sit because of this fix.

Hello, thx for the nice video. Could i have issue if the external cover is not properly seal of it is just the seal inside that mathers?

@VermontLife Ай бұрын

Do you mean the belt cover? In that case I have found the plastic can warp from heat resulting in it not sealing. I replaced mine as otherwise I would get a good deal of debris in there which would affect the belt performance. It's the seals on the crankshaft that really matter as without those (the one's I replace in this video) you'll have an air leak that could lean out and ruin a motor.

How much were those seals? I can't find them on his website. Only in the top end rebuild kit.

It was super reasonable. I had to reach out to him directly via email and he dropped them in the mail the next day. Ended up talking on the phone about the different seal types as well. I learned a lot talking to him.

Can u tell me were I can buy the leak down tester and the exhaust cover plate?

I was able to get it from HPMPowerSports.com. You might have to shoot an email over to get the kit you need but if you do tell them James at Vermont Life sent you. They have helped me a ton.

If the seals are leaking, shouldn't there be oil there? On my Polaris Trailblazer 250, the starter motor failed, and when I took it apart, there was some oil in it. So I suspect that the seal is damaged, despite the engine running well. Hug from Portugal

If theses oil I would think it’s really leaking. If you’re in a position to do so I’d say to do a leak down test as that will really help give you an idea of how bad one seal or both are. Best of luck on your repair over there in Portugal and thanks for the shout out.

@@VermontLife one more question yours wasn’t starting before you remplace the seals right? And what’s the size of the bolt you used to remove the clutch ?

@VermontLife 3 ай бұрын

I just quickly updated the description with a link to the one I used on Amazon. I don't know the length or pitch off the top of my head unfortunately.

And yes, it wasn't starting. The compression was low and it failed a leakdown test around both crank seals.
