[QUOTE="billrbg, post: 78480, member: 10970"] I got it changed without removing the spool or disturbing the rear cover. I looked at the front for a few seconds, then drained the reservoir and moved the two hoses out of the way (disconnected one end only on each). I had to be brutal to the front seal (lip-seal) to get it out, but it looks to me like it "rolled" also. I'm hoping for the best, but kind of expecting I will have to remove all the spools and replace the lip-seals with quads; sooner-THAN-later... I think those lip seals don't have the right "aspect ratio" (thinking of them as a tire), they are "squarish" to fit where the quads used to be, and would be much more roll-resistant if they were more like a 40-50 series tire. My guess only, of course. Yeah those screws in the front are a real bear. Why couldn't they have, at least, put the ones close to the frame up on TOP where you would have a chance of seeing them??? I'll post again once I fire it up and see how long until another leak! [/QUOTE]
