Awesome video I'm new to PWC WORLD and this is saving me time and money, just by showing me the aftermarket kit you had which was the same as my 1999 Seadoo GS model THANK YOU !!!

Thanks for the video! I'm about to replace the carbon ring on my 94 SP and this will save me some time and head-scratching. I have heard elsewhere that SeaDoo sells a tool for holding that bellow back, but I had just planned on having an extra set of hands nearby. We'll see!

Your
little, bellows compression, trick was the boom. Thank you.

Very well done video. I'm about to install my carbon ring seal today using the tips you included. Nice job!

Thank you so much for the video. With the video it took me about 45 minutes and now everything works perfect.

Also, for others, it appears that the two black small O rings go into the float ring (stainless steal ring) to seal it to the driveshaft. A little of silicone grease will help when sliding the stainless ring back onto the driveshaft.

great video and great explaining how to do it. I was trying to get my drive shaft out of a 97 GSX and has about the same set up.
Thank You!

great video! i'm sure it will help a lot tonight when i start this project

[RonnieT]

I'm thanks. Twice you failed to show how to remove the clip by pushing back on that disc that pushes against the carbon ring. That's the whole trip to the whole thing in the reason I needed your video

You live on long island? Looked up wsm for parts for mine and it's like 12 miles from my house thanks man !!! Im doing a 96 sp

Is the floating metal ring suppost to rub against the carbon ring?

[tackdriverCA]

How does this part cause performance issue while in turns?

[omovidoadiesel]

the flush adapter stay with the jetski?

[kirkferentzrocks]

In the manual, they refer to something as the venturi, it says " remove the 4 screws and then withdraw the venturi". What is that?
Also, this half metal ring that is golden in color, what does it go between? It seems like from video it goes between the floating ring (metal silver thing) and the carbon ring (black) ....however if it goes in between, how does this push the two together? That is counterintuitive, and seems like it puts a hole in between these two and would allow water in.

thanks, and GREAT video.

Hi, I got the same Carbon ring kit as you did. Same jetski. Before I put driveshaft back in to Ski, I decided to see how the Ring Seal Carrier with 2 O-rings installed inside will slide on to the driveshaft. I could not get it done. It just will not go on to driveshaft. Did yours slide relatively easy. What is the trick. It is like my orings eather too big or cut outs for them inside are too small. If I cant slide it onto driveshaft out of ski I know that it will be impossible to get it on once its inside.  Thank you.

[djbred]

Would be nice to see how you pulled the shaft out

[CRAZYROBSTA]

I put a new bellow and seal in but there's alot of play and it was easy to pull the new boot back to expose the clip. Did I get the wrong parts? The clip is exposed now as well
