How can i prise out a small oil seal (gear lever shaft) which i suspect s the problem of an oil leak i have, screwdriver ec. doesnt seem to budge it? Preferably without having to take shaft out?
Also, should the magneto/generator be covered with oil or be farely dry as i have an oil leak coming from the magneto/gear change side of my bike and am unsure wether this is normal?
Thanks..

Its leaking and if you can carefully drill the seal and use a sheet metal screw in it and use that to pull it out. you might have to do both sides to get an even pull. keep doing this process and the drill will eventually chew out enough of the seal to let it release from the housing.

To remove the seal with out removing the shaft, the best way is to use a small drill, drill to equally spaced holes in the face of the seal, screw two small self tapping screw into the holes and then use two vice grips to pull the seal out.
The magneto oil problem sounds like the crack seal has also failed. Unfortunately you will need to change this as well.
