5. Insert a screwdriver between the seal
and the shaft and pry off the seal from
the shaft housing with a twisting motion.
6. Wrap insulating tape around the
outgoing shaft from the beginning of the
key groove and outwards until even the
threads of the circlip are covered with
tape. This is done to protect the new seal
from damage.
7. Lubricate the shaft and the inside of the
new seal with lubricant so that the seal
slips on smoothly.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Make sure that the seal's metal spring
strengthener is located on the side of the
seal facing the transmission before the seal
is fitted.
8. Place the seal on the shaft, with the
metal spring facing inwards, and press it
in carefully.
Use the thin end of a 1/4" extender to
carefully tap the seal down until it is
seated in the bottom of the shaft
housing. Tap only on the seal's steel
casing.
Move the extender in a circle around the
seal so that it is pressed down evenly all
around and is tight against the shaft.
