c. Insert new seal:
ƒ For Teflon seal:
– Place the new Teflon seal onto the seal insertion tool with the seal opening facing away from the handle .
– Lubricate the open-faced edge of the seal with Molykote 55 or other fine viscosity lubricant by placing a
dot of lubricant on your finger, then slowly rolling your finger around the outside lip of the seal, completely
coating the outside edge .
– Insert the Teflon seal into the holder body by pushing the tool and seal straight into the body of the holder .
Make sure the seal tool is straight with the holder to ensure you do not side load the seal .
– Remove the seal tool .
ƒ For graphoil seal:
– Insert the graphoil seal directly into the holder body . Make sure you push the seal straight into the body of
the holder to avoid side loading the seal .
4. Reassemble the holder .
a. Apply a small amount of anti-seize lubricant to the lower body threads where the upper body threads on .
Do not tighten the set screw until the upper and lower body of the holder are properly aligned . Tightening the set screw on
the threads will permanently damage the tool .
b. Loosen the set screw enough to allow for easy assembly .
c. Thread the upper body of the holder onto the lower body .
ƒ For Teflon seal:
– Tighten the upper body until it is snug against the lower body .
– Tighten set screw .
ƒ For graphoil seal:
– Do not tighten the set screw until after installation of the rod/shaft .
– Thread, but do not tighten the upper body down to the lower body .
 NOTE
When using a graphoil seal, tightening the upper body without a rod/shaft in the holder will damage the seal and prevent
insertion of the rod/shaft .
5. (Re)Install the rod/shaft .
a. Clean the rod/shaft before installing .
ƒ If reinstalling a used rod/shaft, thoroughly clean the rod/shaft with 320 grit or finer sandpaper using a
rotational motion, then wipe the rod/shaft with a clean rag and solvent to remove any leftover debris .
ƒ If installing a new rod/shaft, wipe the new rod/shaft down with solvent and a clean rag to remove any debris .
b. Add a small amount of Molykote 55 or other fine lubricant to the rod/shaft
c. Wrap the threaded end of the rod/shaft with two (2) complete wraps of Teflon tape to protect the seal during
rod/shaft insertion .
d. Place the rod/shaft into the holder carefully . If the rod/shaft cannot pass through the body, make sure the locking
collet is loose and oriented in the correct direction (dot on top) . It is sometimes easier to completely remove the
locking collet from the body . Be careful not to lose collet .
 NOTE
Each insertion collet assembly is unique to each retrieval tool . Be sure to keep the removed assembly with the specific tool
retractor .
