I'm sure you're not the first person to not get it on the first try.  I feel like I've read around here before of people having issues.  Two Yamaha seals are still cheaper than one honda seal... 1983 CX650 Turbo 1982 CX500 Custom Donating Member    Report

It can't really BE MORE CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can be more clear on the problem you had. Hold the cup loosely in a pair of pliers. Take a heat source, preferably a bic lighter or plumbing torch. Heat the bottom of the cup, when you hear a sizzle, the seal will pop right out. it only takes a few seconds of heat. I am about as ham fisted as they come, and I have done this successfully twice, on the first try. 1983 GL650i Had 4 CX/GL's at one point this year, down to one, next spring is another adventure! age 38 (29 plus tax)    Report
