Advice for U/D Pulley Install

[Blackened300a]

I installed the Steeda U/D pullies at 27k miles, I put the Crank Pulley in and Did not change the front Seal. Its now 33k miles and the Front seal is leaking. My word of advice would be to change the Seal if you are planning to install U/D Pullies have over 25k miles. From sliding the old pulley out and shoving the new one in stretched the rubber seal enough that its spraying oil out the pulley and all over the front of my engine

Just sound Advice, the $7 for a Seal saves a headache later down the road!

I have had my Steeda underdrives for over 10,000 miles with no leaks. I did lube the outer surface of the crank pully (where the oil seal rides) and was careful to put the crank pulley on so it wasn't cocked. BTW how do you like your mufflers?

BTW how do you like your mufflers?I absolutly Love my Mufflers!, No Drone and they sound awsome under acceleration. Im thinking about going for the Res-delete tips and really see how they sound. I picked them up at American Muffler Installed for $200 with a lifetime Warranty on the mufflers and the Welds, Cant beat it! ( I see you are No where Near NY so this tidbit was useless for you! lol) However Great Product!

BTW, Lucky you on the Pulley install, Makes me wonder what other surprises Ill find on this "Certified" Marauder

I never had any problem with my underdrives and still have no leak even after re-installing the stock pulley at 34,xxx miles (now has 38,xxx).
