So I'm in the middle of replacing the wrap around plastic case on a squashed Stihl Farm Boss and decided while at it to replace crank seals and wish I hadn't!
The damn silicone sealer (factory I'm sure) is really a pain to get off the half mating surfaces and the little groove in that surface, particularly since I'm trying not to drop any into the cylinder.
I've tried putty knives, gasket scrapers, my bare fingers etc and after an hour am about to try some silicone remover magic liquid.
This isn't a new problem I know so someone must have a better solution????
Help guys!
