Tacho drive removal

Forums

Greetings from the colonies;

I've just received the Andover tach drive update w/oil seal 7254. My factory manual says to remove the 2 screws to remove the old leaker. I removed the screws but the drive does not budge. Please advise my next step.

cheers

Ernie

It can only really be gasket goo that is holding it, although some crankcase boring / drive casting interfaces seem to be closer tolerance than others and give a tight spigot.

It may need a couple of gentle taps to turn it slightly until it loosens.

thanks to Phil and Richard, the new drive has been installed - now to clean off the old leaky mess.

cheers
