Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation to confirm SKF 13865 matches the housing and axle dimensions. Inspect the sealing surface and mating components for wear, scoring, or debris before pressing the seal into place. Clean the bore and shaft thoroughly so the nitrile sealing lip can seat evenly and maintain contact.
