Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft diameter and seal dimensions before installation to ensure proper fitment. Inspect the output shaft surface for scoring, corrosion, or wear that could affect sealing performance. Clean the sealing bore and surrounding area thoroughly before installing the new seal, and verify that the seal seats evenly in the housing. For best results, replace the seal only after identifying and correcting any underlying shaft or housing damage.
