(8) Install new front output seal in front case with
Installer Tool 6888 (Fig. 45) and Tool Handle C-4171 as
follows:
(a) Place new seal on tool. Garter spring on
seal goes toward interior of case.
(b) Start seal in bore with light taps from ham-
mer (Fig. 46). Once seal is started, continue tap-
ping seal into bore until installer tool bottoms
against case.
(c) Remove installer and verify that seal is
recessed the proper amount. Seal should be 2.03 to
2.5 mm (0.080 to 0.100 in.) below top edge of seal
bore in front case. This is correct final seal posi-
tion.
CAUTION: Be sure the front output seal is seated
below the top edge of the case bore as shown. The
seal could loosen, or become cocked if not seated
to recommended depth.
