Technical Details and Specifications

  • Reducing wear on shafts and bearings
  • Minimizing the risk of seal failure due to heat and oil exposure

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the National 1956 wheel seal, ensure the shaft and housing bore are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate tools to press the seal evenly into the housing bore without damaging the sealing lip. Verify the seal orientation matches the original part to maintain proper oil retention. Lubricate the sealing lip lightly with clean oil before installation to reduce initial wear.
