Jeff,
Ok, I spent all morning locating the flange seal, the cam seal plugs and the tool to lock the cams (kindly loaned by BYProdriver)
However, I DO NOT have the center bolt seal, is this seal a special one or can I get away with reusing the old seal along with some Locktite...? (I never heard of the 'green wicking' Locktite)
Another question is for the center bolt, do you simply bolt it in all the way and then use the nut to lock it in place..? Thank you!
Regards,
Gilles
