What It Helps Address

• Service replacement needs for axle and driveline maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to confirm the seal matches the housing and shaft dimensions. Inspect the sealing surface and mating components for scoring, corrosion, or wear before pressing in the new seal. Clean the bore and shaft area thoroughly so the nitrile sealing lip can seat correctly. For Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado wheel-end service, confirm the application by part number and measured dimensions before assembly.
