I am currently rebuilding my bottom end and am trying to fit a new rear seal
If i put it in before tightening the rear mains cap it gets pushed out on tightening!
How do you fit it once the crank is in?

i fitted mine after the mains were fitted,just slides over the crank and then i tapped it gently but firmly ( if you get what i mean
) whilst continuously moving around the circumference of it ( so you don't push one side in too much at a time)
