Ordered 2 seals for my 2000 cr125 build bike. I'm putting a new clutch in it so I thought I'd check the seal. I have the seals but I'm wondering if the "put 3 screws in it and pull" method is really effective or not. I don't want to jimmy it up. What do you guys think? Will it come out with the 3 screws method?

Just pull that collar off and you can stick a flat blade under the lip and pop it out.

I got in there a little further and it had oil inside the lip. I yanked that sucker. It had to be letting oil into the crankcase. Thanks guys!

Seal that ignition cover with some RTV ,Yamabond ,or something. Pretty crusty in there.

Yep did. I think it was from the rubber grommet from the ignition wire. Crusty was a nice word for it. It was bad in there.
