Working on a friend's 1968 CB 350 and I've got to replace a seal I've never had to replace before: it's the oil seal behind the spark advancer and points, #18 in this diagram: http://www.westernhonda.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=2447581&category=Motorcycles&make=Honda&year=1968&fveh=131006 Oil is getting by it and fouling the points. I had a look at it and picked at for a sec, but didn't have tools. Any hints? I'm assuming the dental pick route would work -- may mangle the seal a little but doesn't matter as it's getting replaced. Similar to a shifter seal? OR do I need to take off the whole cover to do it? Thanks in advance.
