seal from all dirt and rust.
• Insert a screwdriver between the seal and the

shaft and pry off the seal from the shaft housing
with a twisting motion.

• Wrap insulating tape around the ingoing shaft in
order to protect the new seal from damage from
splines and grooves.
Begin wrapping from the bottom and continue
upwards over the shaft until the entire shaft is
wrapped in tape.
• Lubricate the shaft and the inside of the new
seal with grease so that the seal slips on
smoothly.
