Hey guys, is the top part of the rear seal always rubber? Mine may be very old but it sure feels like metal, and it blunted the end of a brass drift, so I'm wondering if they are always rubber. My replacement is.
I couldn't tap mine out with a punch until I loosened the rest of the main caps on the crank. Then she came right out. I was following a write-up on the web that said you could get by without doing that, but it didn't work out that way for me, and at least now I know that all the caps are properly torqued.
