The placement of the O-ring has been discussed before and its placement is not shown correctly in a lot of manuals and parts books. Look here: http://www.3cyl.com/mraxl/manuals/maint ... .htm#trans
and pay close attention to the note in red.


Thanks Mraxle and others! Great info. H2RTuner - I didn't know about the chamfer - makes sense. Thanks for great info everyone

The O ring used in this application isn't what you would think an O ring should be. Its radial diameter is smaller in thickness than a regular O ring, and should easily compress into the area created by the chamfer in both the bearing race and collar.

I see a lot of people use a regular thickness O ring, and, they pretty much get fully destroyed in the installation. The correct narrow thickness O ring should be good to go.
