I installed my front case/oil pump this past weekend and I decided to redo it. I was worried about how much copper spray I used so I took off my front case back off tonight. Now my problem is when I took off my oil pump gear cover to repack with moly grease the dried up loctite in threads of the cover got inside the cavity. I dont want to risk it, so I will be flushing out the front case to make sure it is good to go.
My question is, if I use break cleaner to get all that grease I had in there will it damage the front main seal and oil pump seal? Will the brake cleaner also affect the castle nut o ring and the thread sealant I used on that castle nut? Will I need to replace all of those or take out and reinstall if I do that? Any ideas the best way for me to flush it out without doing any harm to the seals and not having to install new ones or taking out the existing ones and reinstalling them since the whole front case and seals in there are brand new and already assembled? Thanks.
