Tip: if you dont have socket big enough to put seal in, place it making sure it is even on each side then put sprocket backwards and then use socket 21 and using hammer gently drive seal in by tapping on sprocket. comes in flash with a case and it will be even surface without damage to seal. grease on o-ring is not a bad idea either. Cheers!

Thanks for the video!! I just bought a 2008 KTM XC 300 yesterday and when I checked on it this morning, I saw a puddle of oil under it and went into full panic. Found the source of the leak then found your video. Panic gone, can't wait to fix it and get riding for the first time! Thanks again for this video!!!

Kyle; thanks for this video! I woke up this morning to a randomly leaking countershaft seal.. Got the oem seal and O-ring for $6 and fixed it with your video in under 10 minutes! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

I used the same procedure on my son's KTM 50 SX mini and it worked great. I replaced the chain and front sprocket at the same time so it was very easy to access the seal area.

thanks for the video it helps a lot of people out and saves them a lot of money from taking it to a dealer to do a simple job. appreciate it.

Three things: If your chain is adjusted properly you should have enough slack to slide it off. As stated below always oil up the seals & O-ring or any parts for that matter. When pressing in parts you can put them in the freezer for a while. It's not necessary but it can help. E Money, great tip!!

The All Balls Racing countershaft seal kit comes with two different thickness o-rings. In the instructions they say the thicker o-ring is supposed to help prevent future leaks.

I done one on my CRF 450 two weeks ago and just used a wipe of motor oil on the seals and "O" rings just to stop them binding up, great vid keep them coming mate.

Always love seeing well explained and neatly filmed tutorial videos. Got an idea for a video for you is an exhaust repacking video. Made a huge difference on my KTM for less then $5

You definitely have great videos that also make it easy "todo"! Thanks kyle

Just found this problem on my KTM. Thought it was going to be major surgery, but looks like something i can mess up all by myself :). Thanks Rocky Mountain from the land down-under.

thank you sir. i have this same problem and now i am gonna fix it. i hope your channel grows!

I dig your vids! I have the same bike and many of your how to videos have helped me a ton!!! Thanks!

Worth spending a little bit on specialist tools to avoid bigger service centre costs for such an easy repair. Good clear video.

Put the outer seal in the freezer overnight and it will go in a lot easier. Also, grease up all rubber seal components.

Keep your worn countershaft sprocket, and you'll have a perfect fitting tool to push the snap ring home.

If you find oil leaking,in that area, be sure to check the clutch cylinder gasket, I replaced a seal before I found the real culprit.

putting seals in without lube is an awesome way to get a leak again real quick, especially iff you contact clean the bush...

Glad I have same bike as you! Your vids are amazing quality and very informative

Thanks for the video. Changing out my Honda 250x seal.

I didn't have a tool to pull the seal but found a suggestion that worked. I drilled two very small holes in metal part of the seal. Then used a couple wood screws and screwed them in just a tiny bit until they grabbed the hole with the threads. Using a hammer and wood block was able to pry outward and pull the seal out. Not the most efficient but worked!

great vid I enjoy the how to its so important to maintain the toys

Always great videos thanks for sharing

I really got recommended this just as my bike got it's counter-shaft seal fixed in the shop.

I understand what you mean with tapping slowly. Good example. Thanks.

Thanks for this, I discovered an allen key and pair of pliers gets it off just as easy without buying that tool

Nice how to vid Kyle!

Another great video. Thanks !!!

Thank you, great video.

also, you should have applied some grease to the o-ring and the seal before you slide the bushing on.

I would suggest just running a bit of oil or great inside the seal so you don't burn the lips off before it gets lube. Going to flush is also good because you have a good reference to make sure the seal is square in the bore

u deserve more then 24,716 subs

Great video very helpful. What is the OEM part number for this kit?

Dude, get black lightning or orange lightning latex gloves for working. They are the bomb, I use the orange ones because they are thicker. Good video btw.

Love your videos man. Keep it up!

I have an idea for a video that I know would probably help many others out besides myself. Do one on what boots you use/have used/your buddies use. There are so many different types/styles and I ride similar terrain and trails as you so your opinion would help. Thanks, great vids.

I just bought all oem parts for this and the spacer sleeve does not have a machined cut out for the o ring. it is flat on both sides. is this right? or okay?

That is my dreambike :3 + Cool that you make these tutorials!

Just use you seal remover to pull out the bit that's a little too far in. You can do it without damaging the seal, just be careful.

You make solid videos. Thank you for your help.

have you done a video on motor oils? which one do you use, and should we go synthetic?

Hi. You can do this without taking the rear wheel of. And I suggest that you use a bigger flat hammer and longer socket to push the oil seal straight.

You don't need to take the rear wheel off but it does make it easier.

I heard a thicker o-ring will solve the leak if it’s not the collar and main lip seal that’s worn...

Would the sprocket not make a nice flat surface to push the seal in? Just an observation?

dont use a screw driver. just stick an 8mm wrench (that doesnt have a super sharp tip) under the seal. use a larger wrench to attach to the smaller wrench to get extra leverage. was very easy. oh u also have to put something behind the countershaft for leverage. something plastic throw a rag in there if you want some extra safety. I wouldve bought a seal puller ;) but none of the stores had one in my town and everyone looked at me funny like i was making the tool up. lol

How'd it start leaking. Did you put it in gear while changing sprockets or did you over torque it?

Very helpful I have to do this on my exc 450 it’s flung oil everywhere 😂

Great post. Your videos are why I am going KTM vs Honda, yammy. But I have heard the repairs can be more costly...anyway,did it leak?

Thank you. Sounded easy, but I always like to see it done before I try. Chain needs a little WD-40 after you wash. I noticed some rust :-)

What kind of oil do you run in your bottom end?

can you tell me what gold chain your using, brand and part#? Its for a 16 300xc. I will order it through your parts link!! thanks in advance....

It leaked because you sprayed contact cleaner or brake cleaner on it. Not just because you changed the sprocket.

liked! awesome job...

Can some one hellp me when I push my bike wile Holding my gluch put then it get stuck and won't move but if I change gears then it will move and after a some steps it will get stuck again

I did it with out having to take my tire off, ur making it harder for urself but if u like it that way then go for it👍

stock o-ring will often leak, after replacement. Big Balls countershaft seal kit comes with thicker O-Ring... this will seal it up.

Is the spacer on 125 Ktm sx also

This should be the same on the 200 exc right

Might be a dumb question but if I had a bad seal, would the sprocket have to be spinning in order to leak? I’ve whipped everything down and let the bike idle for a while and it’s dry as a whistle, do you think I’m good to go?

What's your current tire set up?

Is that the Citizen Nighthawk watch? Looks sharp! Also, thanks for the helpful vids.

Does anyone know why my front sprocket has a seal on it? It's all mangled and attached to the sprocket! I'm confused. None of the other bikes have this in any of the videos.

Is that a bulova moon watch?

Mines been leaking, took it apart no oring seal plus the outer seal had a rip

Grease is your friend here.

Thanks!!! :D

Where do u get this kit

When you go with outer (golden) seal too deep in to the engine it will leakage!!

if you over tighten the chain then it makes that seal leak it is probably why it started leaking after you changed the sprockets and the chain

I've now tried this twice with 2 separate All Balls counter shaft seal replacement kits and still have a leak. The seal looks like it's in at the right depth and I used the larger o-ring. Any ideas?

did it leak?

I tapped my seal in too far like you did and it started leaking after 2 rides

What's the part number for the kit?

when you replaced your sprockets, i think you killed your seal when you sprayed that stuff on it (brake cleaner?)

Cause you really need that contact cleaner in those bearings.

Hi. I am looking for the tool you use to get the seal out with. Whats is it called?

Hey man! Love your vids.... Im 14 years old and my dad want to buy me another bike but i dont know which bike its better for me between the ktm 150 two stroke or the crf 150r....if you could give me your opinion plz👌

Great video Kyle, just have one question I was doing mine and for some reason I can't get the nut holding the sprocket on off on my yz125, any suggestions,

Always grease seals and o-ring in this install.

I pull the master link off of chain to fool with sprocket.

If you put it in too deep, couldn't you just use the seal puller to gently tug it out again?

Lectron carb?

Faild to mention the rounded side and the flat side of the circlip

That is not good, either hit it more on the right side and hope the left side stays still. or pull it out and try again.

The kit isn't $15 any more. It's closer to $50 for a newer 300.

Taking the master link off and chain off is a lot easier

I would have put some grease on the collar or seal

instead of loosening your back tire. try just taking the master link out of your chain. it might be easyer.

I appreciate your videos I think it’s a mistake to put the seal on before you install the sleeve. You run too big of a risk of damaging the seal. Also I would after I clean the parts. I would also have greased the o ring as well the the lip of the seal.

why dont you just take the master link off the chain ?? whats what i do .. wasted time braken the Rim bolt lose

Wot chain is that your running dude

I love ur channel man and I’m no hater at all! So many good tips. U are very talented but a mechanic u are not!!!!

never install a seal dry always oil the seal !! its almost a grantee to have premature failure if its dry on install

Did it leak?

It was a bitch putting on that snap ring with out the specific tool

oily the sleeve lol...

91th

First

shoulda greased it.
