Front crank oil seal Help!!!!

[GADGET]

Just popped off the rotor to confirm the oil seal behind has gone.

Question is, from someone who has done it before, can I simply screw in a self tapper and pull the old one out and then carefully tap the new one in, or is the something unknown I should be wary of?????

Yep! Dead easy to do. Just be careful putting it back in. The crank obviously stop you using a drift and it's easy to skew the seal.

Thanks Rob, funny you should reply, was just looking through your old posts, am looking to upgrade the front brake and seem to remember seeing a picture you posted of a different BMW brembo caliper fitted???

It isn't a Brembo it's a Tokico from the later 1150

Thanks Rob, job is done now. Have done some more research re the Tokico, it seems that there is an adapter required as well?
