So I need to change this leaking drive shaft seal out. Any tips that might keep me from really screwing things up?
Thanks

Good timing....

I just did this yesterday on my cl77. By the look of the picture it's nearly identical. I used a slide puller with a screw type attachment drilled a small hole in the seal screwed in the the puller and with one pull it popped right out.

LoudMouse suggests you chamfer the edges of the case so the new seal goes in easier, it's a real tight fit. I used a wood dowel and hammer to gently work mine in place. Took about 20 mins max.

Good luck!

Thanks cribbs, didn't have a slide puller so I made do with part of a curtain rod, some weird washer, wood screws and a brick. Tapped it in with a BF washer, spark plug socket w/ extention and hammer. Went smoothly once the "Yankee" kicked in. Thanks much!

Glad it worked well for for you.

Love that tool!
