28. Before installing the gear/stator housing, replace the
seals in the cover. Install a new water pump seal (N)
into the gear/stator housing (O). Use the Water
Pump Mechanical Seal Installer (PA-44995) to
properly install the seal to the correct depth in the
cover.
NOTE: Due to seal design and construction,
seals MUST be installed DRY (no lubricant)
during assembly. Use of lubricants (oil, soapy
water, etc.) will not allow the seal to wear-in and
seal properly. Do not touch seal surface or allow
seal
contaminates during installation. Thoroughly
clean parts, tools and hands before installation.
To remove the water pump seal, the gear/stator
housing must be removed. The water pump seal
cannot be removed or installed with the gear/
stator housing attached to the engine. Shaft
damage will occur.
