Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm axle type and ring gear size before installation, since this seal is specified for 8.25-inch applications. Inspect the pinion yoke and sealing surface for wear, scoring, or corrosion before fitting the new seal. Clean the bore thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion. If the yoke surface is damaged, seal life can be reduced even when the correct part number 17350 is used.
