Just. Changing crank seal on a px150. Its tight against the bearing and it makes the crank stiff to turn. To me it says this ain't right but as i have not changed one before i don't no. Anyone confirm for me

Take the crank out and try turning the bearing from the clutch side. It should turn freely so if it doesn't then the seal is rubbing and will probably fail. A trick is to carefully flatten the seal a bit so the inner part isn't stepped so much. Pro Porting sell ones already done.
