28. Before installing the gear / stator housing, replace the
seals in the cover. Install a new water pump seal (N)
into the gear / stator housing. Use the Water Pump
Mechanical Seal Installer (PA-44995) to properly
install the seal to the correct depth in the cover.
IMPORTANT: Due to seal design and construction,
seals MUST be installed DRY (no lubricant) during
assembly. Use of lubricants (oil, soapy water, etc.) will
not allow the seal to wear-in and seal properly. Do not
touch seal surface or allow seal surface to come in
contact with contaminants
Thoroughly clean parts, tools and hands before
installation.
NOTE: To remove the water pump seal, the gear/
stator housing must be removed. The water pump
seal cannot be removed or installed with the gear/
stator housing attached to the engine. Shaft damage
will occur.
NOTE: Install the water pump seal (N) with the seal
lip facing out (towards the crankcase). Use of a
hydraulic press is recommended for this procedure.
29. Install a new crankshaft seal (P) into the gear/stator
housing cover. Use the Universal Driver Handle (PU-
45543) and the Main Seal Installer (PA-45483) to seat
the crankshaft seal into place.
