[QUOTE="julien_d, post: 1393734, member: 98751"] You have to split the cases to replace the seals. Sorry. The seals are pressed in from the inside until they hit the stop that is cast into the case on the outside. I have thought that I could grind the cast stops off, and drill and tap a few holes for some removable seal stops, but haven't been brave enough to try it. You could conceivable do this without splitting the cases. Really not worth the effort though. It's a KDX. Split it once, replace ALL the bearings and seals and anything else that looks worn, and you'll likely never have to tear into it again as long as you own the bike. You'll need to find out definitively if the seals are leaking before you worry about all that, obviously. Sounds like you might have gotten it sorted out. Keep in mind it is a 96, and it is a KDX, so it's probably lived through some pretty rough years. I just re-watched your video. That bike is incredibly clean for a 96, very nice! Maybe you got lucky and it's been cared for in the past. That is a lot of white smoke. Can't tell for sure from the video if you have problems with the motor, or problems with the jetting. [/QUOTE]
