There is a seal around the Ujoint . I have had to replace a couple of them.
Thank you, how difficult to pull out the middle drive? Any easy method I can use?
Not bad at all, IMO. Remove rear wheel, final drive, swingarm and driveshaft. Then loosen two crankcase bolts on either side of middle output gear. Finally, remove 3 bolts holding in the gear and pull out. Watch for the shims. They need to go back. Also, one of the 3 bolts has a washer. It has to go in the same position.

Hello, I already pulled out the middle drive, dented oil seal, now I have to pull out the drive from the housing, I checked in the internet about the process but I couldn't find any thing, do I have to hammer the ujount bolt?
You have to get a wrench on that nut on the yoke and have a vice or something to hold it once you get that nut off the joint will pull out and you can replace that seal. In my opinion that is the hardest part of the whole job.
Thank you
Hello everyone, how to pull out the oil seal ? I will need to pull out everything from the housing? Seems difficult and need special tools
Just just a screwdriver and work the seal out no need to pull it all apart then find a big socket to hammer it back in Evenly
You mean the oring inside the dust seal? I need pull out the whole thing because it's dented as you can see in the picture, I tried with screw driver I even made a hole in tr dust seal to pull it out with a screwdriver because I'm scared I will damage the bearing inside and it doesn't work, any idea how to pull that thing with out pushing the middle gee from the housing? Thank you
