had another terrible day with the said oil seal..took all advice and also went out and got some pitcher wire.

still no joy,,wire snapped even tho heavy weight.

have a look at the photos....is there somthing im doing wrong? has the crank dropped enough? the seal is rop graffit from best gaskets and just will not want to go in?
