I have a Halibrand 101, the gear lock/ engage shaft has a small seal that is leaking. Does anyone have knowledge on how to remove the shaft and replace the seal. You can see the br*** ring and seal in the picture. It also looks like the shaft may be threaded where it goes they the fork plate. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
http://www.rfcarlson.com/ is around the corner or so from the shop they have every seal there is period ,,, smart folks too , you can work a micrometer they can sell ya what you need , lots of places like them around the country may be one near you ,,, fabricator john miss you dad
No need to remove the shaft.. That ''br*** ring'' as you call it, looks like it's the outer seal housing to me.. I would center punch the ''br*** ring'' (outer seal) and carefully drill a 1/16'' hole, just thru it, screw in a long self tapping screw, and pull/lever it out with pliers.. ..
Thank you, Just need to find a new seal. I will give Hotrod Works a call and see if they have a replacement.
are you going to be using the In/Out portion of the QC? If not I would contact HotRod works and get a one piece jack shaft. Then you can install a blank plate and remove the problems all together.
Please share the seal part number when you figure it out. I have the same 101 and plan on keeping the in/out for flat towing.
HotRod Works wasn’t able to help out. He did suggest a bearing or seal company should have something.
