[QUOTE="charismaticmegafauna, post: 461134, member: 665"] The few I've replaced (on other bikes) weren't worn-out or broken, or damaged in any way I could see. The spring might've been a little weaker than new (don't know?) or, there might've been something (substance?, foreign object?) on the seal face -- but, the old one didn't look much different than the new one. They're widely used in the automotive industry and (I think?) are normally quite long-lived and reliable (other than a little weep, once-in-awhile). I don't consider leaking a little coolant from the weep hole, an issue. Just as much of an issue (IMO) is the potential failure of a coolant pipe "O" ring or the on-going corrosion at the coolant pipe fittings. In some applications, a suitable puller is needed for removal/installation of the face seal -- don't know about FJR. [/QUOTE]
