Bill -
I have not done this but would be wary of the kits (Moss & ebay) that
require grinding the crank. Some find this works out well for them but I
recall some who had problems & the 'fix' is irreversible.
Instead, I believe there is an alternative that does not modify the crank
or (of course) the original style seal can be renewed.
Okay, a search turns up this:
