Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation. Clean the sealing surface and surrounding housing thoroughly, and inspect the shaft for wear, scoring, or contamination before fitting the new seal. Proper alignment during installation helps the sealing lip seat evenly and reduces the chance of early leakage.
