BEST WAY TO REPLACE OIL SEAL ON CT 70 CLUTCH?

[mark from florida]

took off cover and found seal was tweaked causing clutch to be slightly disengaged?hanging up? pulled old seal out and bought new seal from honda. new seal looks larger than the hole it goes in? I think i damaged old seal installing it. what is the best way to get new seal in without damage?also do you drill out clutch shaft to remove? reinstalling new pin when complete.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm confused. Are talking about a manual clutch cover???? Drilling the clutch shaft??

There are seal drivers available on the market.

clutch is a manual. seal is partially block with clutch mechanism.

Right next to the right hand screw hole for the round cover plate is a pin that actually looks like a cut off nail- you will see the head of that "nail". Pull that out and the complete clutch actuating lever will come out. It is just a slip in fit. the cover when in place holds it in

thank you, I did look at that when i did the conversion to manual. just having an issue getting seal for clutch installed without damaging it. real tight fit and no room to drive in with socket or seal tool due to clutch mechanism is in the way.

Mine looks like it is sheared off flush. may have to drill really small hole in it and install small screw to pull it out with?

was able to remove pin holding clutch shaft in. upon install of new seal realized honda gave me the seal for the kicker.no wonder. thanks guys.new seal on order. my other beater 70 could use a new kick seal anyway.

The pin that holds the clutch lever in the cover is here. Looks like your looking at a nail head. It is not like its pressed in- it just sits there. The round external cover holds it in. Maybe a pick and a magnet can get it out?

Oops too late- glad you got it.
