Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to match the transmission housing and shaft dimensions. Inspect the shaft surface and surrounding bore for wear, scoring, or debris before installing the new seal. Clean the sealing area thoroughly so the polyacrylate surface can seat correctly and maintain consistent contact.
