Does anyone out there know the size of the B230 front crankshaft oil seal.
It is written on the face of the seal in the format 45-30-8 or similar #`s
Also the depth of the tool to press it in using the pulley bolt. The O/D and I/D I can work out from the seal dimensions but need to know the depth so that I can turn one up in advance.
Many thanks for any help,
Colin.

Convention would have it that the seal sits in a 45mm bore, runs on a 30mm shaft, and is 8mm thick. Got to a bearing house and order a seal with these dimensions. Get a two lip rubber covered seal if available.

Thanks John,
Did I remember the size correctly or are you explaining the numbering convention?
I appreciate the way the system works, what I was asking was, what is the correct front seal size? the figures I gave were just a rough guess/estimate given as an example.
Yes, I do intend getting a double lip seal to replace the standard single one.
Colin.

Colin:
Order one from FCP Groton, it's cheap, measure it yourself.
Good luck,
