(flanged) > Couple of notes to the other response: First, you can use a seal that's not split, but you need to be in a warm climate and heat it a lot (in hot water) and be very patient and careful. If you use the split seal (recommended for first time users and cold climates) make sure the split is at 10:30 or 1:30, and not aligned with the case split or below the centerline of the crank. Use Permatex non-hardening gasket cement or equivalent. Silicon sealer is not approved. Be sure to put sealer on the split mating surface. Put the spring on the crank before the seal ant you may find it easier to hook up. I have never had a problem with the spring being too big. It is not supposed to be tight on the bare crank due to the thickness of the seal. Be sure the hook for the spring is not aligned with the split in the seal.
