Sealing collar replacement - input axle
Remove the cooling fan, it is held by a circlip.
Remove the pulley from the input axle by pulling it
upwards and then removing the circlip under the
pulley.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The area around the sealing collar must
be absolutely clean! If the hydrostatic oil
is contaminated with dirt, this can lead to
a shorter hydrostatic transmission
operational life.
1
• Clean the input axle and the area around the
sealing collar of all dirt and rust.
• Insert a screwdriver between the sealing collar
and the axle and bend the sealing collar out of
the axle housing with a twisting motion.
2
• Wrap insulation tape around the input axle to
protect the new sealing collar from damage to
splines and grooves.
Start by wrapping from the bottom and
continue upwards over the axle until the entire
axle is wrapped in tape.
• Lubricate the axle and the inside of the new
sealing collar with grease so that the collar can
slide easily.
