[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 125692, member: 3426"] I used the modified SKF seals on the twin, but for some reason.... probably thinking it would save time, I bought the seal setup from Coventry. I assume it is the same as the ones sold by VOC Spares. It has a different retainer (which must be reamed) that is machined out for an O-ring. Also uses a different driver that doesn’t require removing as much meat from the top of the retainer. Next time, I will go back to the SKF seal. If there is an O-ring down there Bill, you probably will need a light in order to be able to make it out..... but would be surprised if there is one.
