[QUOTE="Mojavekid18, post: 80313, member: 815"] Finally got my Seal Driver done, honed it with some cylinder stones to get it smooth because our boring bar at school sucks. It moves so much every pass that one end is .75mm and the other is around 2mm. After that i went through about 5 dremel wheels cutting it in half. Then i took a very fine half-round file to knock off the edges and used a 1-3/4" hose clamp to attach the whole thing [ATTACH]6112.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]6113.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]6114.vB[/ATTACH] So now i went to work. I already had everything torn apart and flushed with all the seals on and ready to go in, so all i had to do was drive them and add the oil. [ATTACH]6115.vB[/ATTACH] Because of our shitty lathe equipment the driver was a tad small at the other end, so i lubed it up real well and held it tight (thats dirty :smirk:) then used the top tube to drive it in while i held the driver still to avoid and scratching. It went pretty smooth, just coated everything in vasoline and it all slid on. [ATTACH]6116.vB[/ATTACH] Then i added the oil, i used honda 5wt.
