B&S Micromaster Oriflex oring replacement, Help!

[Janderso]

Have you ever replaced the Oriflex orings on a Brown and Sharpe Micromaster? Or had the spindle unit out?
When I removed the spindle unit to replace the bearings I was able to remove the orings due to the angle of the motor.
Upon reassembly I’m hoping there is a trick. It’s very tight quarters to say the least.

Thank you,

David Bassing and I did it to mine without removing either the spindle or motor, you should contact him for particulars, as he did all the grunt work, I remember the manual saying to NOT remove the motor.

Oh, also we used ordinary O rings from our bearing house in Napa, nothing special about them, and they worked fine.
